    This is not good, most people who see this message will not click on your listing. You should think about getting a different affiliate program.

    That's cause your site has been identified as passing a trojan, virus, adware, spyware, etc.

    Remove the affiliate banners, links, etc. that are attempting to infect your visitors computers...

    The affiliate program you are using has been linked to spyware\malware practices it seems.

    That's bad. Everytime I see that next to a search result. I steer very clear of it.

    This is the warning message displayed by the google while searching your site
    "We want our users to feel safe when they search the web, and we're continuously working to identify dangerous sites and increase protection for our users. This warning message appears with search results we've identified as sites that may install malicious software on your computer"
    May be due to that affiliate program and if you are sure it is free of any problem, then you can write to google.
    My advice is to remove the affiliate program if you expect more traffic from google :)

    This is not really good for any websites . You have to see the instruction on google how to take care of this issue.

    My Dear Friend

    Google is doing this only when it found something unpleasent on your site. So definitely either you have such malacious software or some adware or badware. So first thing to do is remove all such things and further you can remove all your affiliate adds which google don't like.

    Too much of external link and affiliate are also a mattter of penatly. So better if remove such things and concentrate more on onpage rather than off page.

    Cool Mate and Enjoy your day.

    The affiliates you mentioned are pretty solid and are not known (by me) to exploit computers. Maybe your server has been hacked?
