A question about websites with malware indexed by Google

    Hello,

    it is stated in the Google Webmaster Quality Guidelines:

    "Don't create pages with malicious behavior, such as phishing or installing viruses, trojans, or other badware."

    Further more:

    "In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message. (...)

    We'll review your site and, if we determine that it doesn't host or distribute badware, we'll remove the identification from the search results."


    So my question is:

    Do you know how this warning message or idenification in SERPs might look like?

    Thanks.

    I've seen the warning a few times, but not lately. I believe it said it in red above the description

    If google identifies a website as malicious it will mark the result that comes up in their search like this:
    [​IMG]
    If you click on the link to this site from the search result, you get taken to this warning page instead:
    [​IMG]
    Google also adds a block to the infected website to a database (which is shared among various vendors) --- which in turn is picked up by FireFox and you see this page instead (manually entering site URL):
    [​IMG]
