Remove Google Search Warning Message

February 16th, 2008 | by Ankit |

I saw 2-3 threads on DP this morning on “How to Remove Google Search Warning Message“.

Like a Guy asked:

“Hi,

Cleared all Virus in My Server. Please Help Me. why it’s Showing That Message and How to Over come it????

Thanks Regards
Rak”

This site may harm your computer warning looks like:

Here is my Opinion:

So as to maintain Quality and Give the best to its users Google keep on playing tricks and discovering new Idea every day !!

Google.Com with the help of Stopbadware.org database… trying to figure out suspicious websites.

According to Google: “This identification is based in part on guidelines set by StopBadware.org. However, Google uses its own criteria, procedures, and tools to identify sites that host or distribute badware. If you feel your site has been mistakenly identified, or if you make changes to your site so that it no longer hosts or distributes malicious software and you secure your site so that it is no longer vulnerable to the insertion of badware, you can request that your site be reviewed.”

If your website is facing similar problem while searching then you need to make sure that you are not affiliated with any Malware related website or activity.
Once you have reviewed your website and are sure it is clean, you can submit a request for review:

  1. Using Google Webmaster Tools Dashboard, click the site for which you want to request a review (Note: you need to verify site ownership to see this information).
  2. Click Request a review.

Google will review your website manually and, Once they will make sure that it doesn’t host or distribute any type of Malware, they will remove the identification from search results.

In case you are unable to resolve this problem its recommended to get help from Search Engine Optimisation Services.

    Their whole system is totally flawed, and should be illegal and count as slander. I guess they’re just careful with who they filter out, so they don’t do it to a large company who has money and can sue.

    I’ve had several sites stuck in their filter, and I’ve got yet another one now. Every time the solution seems to be remove all advertising and all links, except Adsense of course. Will see if that’s the case this time as well.

    That thing hit me for the second time… Grrr.. I’d like to wring the necks of some of them… I can almost feel their necks in my hands!!!!

    I have a wordpress site. I think the following files are compromised in your theme folder -

    links.php
    functions.php
    footer.php
    header.php

    All of these are common files in there. There are other files too which were compromised… any file which says “new_” could be a problem.

    The best you could do, I think, is to restore it from an old backup. Upgrade your site software and put the common files back (theme files, plugins, etc.)

    We released an application a couple of weeks back which may interest you/your readers. It’s the first public tool to use Google Blacklist APIs and will send you an email or RSS alert if your site becomes listed. That will help you take action immediately to mend your site and restore the listings/traffic.

    Hi, I faced similar problem recently, google also found my site as a badware or suspicious. I’ve removed all the malicious codes and requested for review my site at badware and webmaster tool.

    I was just wondering how many days google takes to remove it?

    Help! We are losing serious business. We are just DJ company and many of our clients have told us that this message keeps them away. I will do whatever I have to but please get us off of that list.

    Hi,

    In my previous comment, I said how my site is also affected and hence Google was showing the warning message. But now my site is back to normal condition.

    To those whose sites are infected or showing message like this can take following action:

    1) Remove any malicious (Injected) code. One can check & compare the files with previous version (backup) file

    2) go to Google webmaster tools where you can ask Google To review your site (But make sure, you have made all your files clean)

    3) As per my experience, It will take 2 to 4 days to review the site and google will remove this warning message

    This morning around 9:35am EST my site (http://www.trustdir.org/) flagged with “This site may harm your computer.”. Then I found that all google search results, including google itself labeled with this message. At 10:15am EST, tge issue was resolved. Hope to see some official google response to this event.
