One of those two sites is distributing adware. Which of them?

File Converter (FOSS) by Adrien Allard was hosted on file-converter[.]org since a decade. Then someone a few weeks ago snatched that domain and it's now distributing adware. Almost identical design for the page, 100% designed to deceive users to download a different product, as it's called Zamzar.

The domain for my country is .ar and most sites that use said domain use .com.ar

Someone registered com under the .com.ar domain so if you add .com.ar to any url that ends in .com you get redirected to their adware site

My last name ends with ar so I tried to get a .ar domain to setup a personalized email but it seems like they are reserved for government stuff, I was only allowed to get .com.ar (last time I checked this was about 4 years ago)

looked up the tld's again

your only choice is to get goofy

Could try .army, .red or .republican (who the fuck approved that lmao)

Gotta get creative to get any decent addresses these days. I've been trying to establish a company name (with an available, short-ish, simple URL) and it's surprisingly difficult, even getting into weird TLDs. Really annoying, especially since a lot of them aren't actually being used.

Finally found a 9 character made-up word that I could get the .us TLD for, and I think that's about as good as it's going to get.

That sounds as if the register for .ar should be out of a job
