    Hi friends,
    I ma running my wordpress blog for past 6 months. Last month no traffic to my blog from google and when I look into the search engine my site is getting the message "This site may harm your computer". I removed the java script which rediected to someother website. After that I checked in few browsers and didnt get any error. I submitted to google webmasters tool for re-consideration and google bot have indexed my website and still the results in search engine is same. My blog url is www.voipguides.info. Can anybody help me to find out the problem in my blog? Thanks.

    I had that message displayed on one of my sites early this year after a failed hacking attempt. The individual was unable to access my site at all, but because it was hosted on a Windows Server with write privileges he was able to add a fake footer leading to pharmacy and other virus paraphernalia.

    Google flagged it as a site thay may harm the surfer's computer so following that pathway I found this information www.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=45449&topic=360

    From which I contacted Stopbadware.org providing proof that my site was hacked (there was an online report at several hackers sites) and a link to my site via archive.org to let them know it was mistakenly flagged as they could see through its history.

    Case solved, one week after Google removed that warning from its results.
