If your website has malware, some internet security companies may add warnings to your site and to search results. These warnings tell visitors your site may be unsafe, which can hurt your site’s reputation.
If this has happened to you, we can help.
Our regular clean-up plans include both malware removal and blocklist removal. After we clean your site, we contact the blocklisting companies to tell them your site is safe and ask them to remove the warning. Once they review our request, the warnings on your site and in search results should go away.
We check these top 10 blocklists:
- Google Safe Browsing
- Norton Safe Web
- PhishTank
- Opera
- McAfee SiteAdvisor
- Sucuri Malware Labs
- Spamhaus DBL
- Bitdefender
- Yandex (via Sophos)
- ESET
“This site may be hacked” warning on Google
If you see this message in Google search results, your site isn’t necessarily on Google’s Safe Browsing blocklist. It means Google noticed suspicious activity and thinks there may be a problem.
We’ll request a review for this warning too. It can take longer to clear, sometimes up to a few weeks.
Checking other blocklists
We only check the most reliable and popular blocklists. Smaller ones tend to make more mistakes, so we don’t use them. If you’d like to check more, these tools can help:
