Additionally, legitimate movie sites should not ask you to install software or to set up an account with them in order to view the movies for free. These are likely to be phishing sites, and you could end up with malware on your computer if you follow their instructions. Many of these sites will also have pop-ups or links that lead you to other sites. A good rule of thumb for a free online movie sites is to look for an 'about me' page or a 'contact us.' Look for information about the origin of the movies, such as that they were obtained directly from the studio with permission or they are in the public domain. If you don't find this information, it may be an illegal movie site.
