.antivirus Domain Information

Country flagLogo for .antivirus Domain

The .antivirus domain extension was applied for during ICANN's 2012 New gTLD Program as a descriptive namespace covering endpoint security and malware protection software. The string carries obvious commercial search demand, and the application sat in the contested space between a keyword generic and a brand-adjacent category name — a tension that shaped much of the policy debate through the 2012 round.

The application did not proceed to delegation. No registry agreement was ever signed, so the extension has never existed in the DNS root zone — leaving a high-intent commercial category with no dedicated namespace at the top level. Strings in this position cannot be registered, and returning one to consideration would require a new ICANN application round.
