Help: About Google Reported Attack Site!

Discussion in 'Google' started by Candise, Sep 12, 2009.

    What will happen to a website when google says:

    Reported Attack Site!

    This web site has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

    Attack sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system.

    Some attack sites intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.


    Whats that?

    Don't worry about it. (delete it or re-upload your version of the file) Fix it and your Google problem WILL go away.

    Here's what I did, I left this out...

    You should download Avast Antivirus (get the free home edition) then when you go to your website it will tell you what's trying to attack you and the name of it. It's good to have this program because you can always visit your website and see when it's been injected with an attack.

    Talk to your host and tell them what you've found out or simply tell them your page has been injected with a hack and they will remove it for you. Or simply upload your version of the file and then go back to your website with Avast running and it shouldn't say anything. Hope everything works out for you! :)

    if it's your website, then it was probably hacked and the hacker injected some shady code, or iframes, google is now blocking it because they are partners with many antivirus companies and as you know google = Firefox, if you got that message then my guess is that you are using firefox..

    what you need to do is clean the website or restore a clean version, then you will need to submit a re-inclusion request to google.

    if that is not your website, then there is nothing to worry about.. it was blocked before loadign in your browser

    I've just manage through that problem ..
    I use google webmaster tools to claim google that my site is free of virus or any malware .. Just add your site to your google webmaster tools, and you'll see a msg in top of your screen telling that google has problem with your site ..
    It takes almost a whole week to get the recovery ..

    1>> Ask someone to scan your website for malicious code and remove it.
    2>> Claim your website in Google Webmaster Tools and request re-consideration.

    This happened to me and this is what I did after I removed the java code script.

    submit a re-inclusion request to google and it was fixed and listed again in 4 hours. everything was back the way it was. just tell them everything and that you didn't start a site so people who visit it would be attacked.
