Agor.io was a screamer webpage intended to scare people who mistyped the domain Agar.io, which is a popular online game. The site was decommissioned in 2015. This type of similar-looking domain name abuse is referred to as typosquatting.

When the site opened, an image of Jeff The Killer appeared which quickly exchanged between negative and normal colors at a ratio that could cause seizures along with a loud, almost metallic sound, the same .swf animation from Anne.jpg. A leetspeak text on the page said "L3mm1ng Braz1I App3r Yazir Alyx WanR00t H0rs3 D0nny". When the user tried to close the page, an alert box appeared with the text "U SCARED BRO LOL" forcing the user to close the browser completely (since some older browsers would not close, forcing the viewer to kill the process with Task Manager or using Ctrl+Alt+Delete).

The creator of the website was found to be Preston Kellenberger, living in Sardinia, Ohio.[1][2]
