Malicious software

    Bing.com says that our website, Plus Plus Tutoring has malicious software on it. Can anyone please explain why it is giving off that warning? I am very confused here.

    With two out of the three major search engines indicating problem, I suggest your research your advertising partners and sites to which you link.

    Your advertising partners or one of your links has linked to a site which has been infected.

    I don't have advertisings on the website. Which link? They all seem legitimate.

    I never go to a site for which McAffee gives a red warning. By mistake, I once clicked on a link listed in search engine, ended up on a site that infected my computer. I had to reformat hard drive.

    I would find all outgoing links on site, the use Google or Bing to research each of those sites to pinpoint those links showing problems.

    If you are going to run websites, I suggest you learn to code them yourself, and investigate each site carefully to which you link.
