Has anyone figured out how to remove the Malware warning from google? My website www.ianiswas.com has been affected by this, but only when using Safari. I have read a few posts, but they have not been super helpful. I called my host company, they see nothing wrong, I looked at the coding, of which I am not an expert, and found nothing wrong. Can someone save me?
Got a tip for us?

Malware warning only on Safari, need to remove!
thanks, but you probably have your preferences changed to not warn you, because I continue to get the warning unless I uncheck the box. I need to figure out how to have it removed for other viewers with the security box checked. any help?

Nope. My warnings work on other known "naughty" sites. Maybe you need to reset Safari. Did you even try looking at your site on a different machine?

Yes, I get the warning on my home desktop, with the updated Safari version, but I do not get it on my laptop, with an older safari. A friend just emailed me and said she gets a warning on her home computer.

I don't get the warning if I visit the site directly, or if I get to the site via Google. However I can trigger the warning if I try to visit the Google cached version.
I thought that the warning was displayed if the site is listed on a blacklist, rather than by the detection of malware etc...

Enter the website address into google and search, then instead of clicking the main link on the search result click the "Cached" link.
black listing occurs when your site has been found to contain malicious code. Contact whoever blacklisted your site and ask them to review it again.
does this look like bad code? I am looking through my site, and this looks out of place. any thoughts on what I should look for?
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_reloadPage(init) { //reloads the window if Nav4 resized
if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }}
else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload();
}
MM_reloadPage(true);
//-->
</script>
</head>

That looks fine to me. I'm just barely learning CSS and can't really tell what's going on in javascript, but to me that looks like it changes the window if the user is browsing the site in netscape.
Your site did fail the W3C validator test (something you should read up on - great site on info and conventions).
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0
Although the errors are generally just not following "conventions" either set by HTML 4.01 or XHTML.

It isn't necessarily "bad" code - it just isn't following conventions (CSS for font colour, table background, style etc, I haven't looked at your source code, so can't comment on yours specifically).
Reason these conventions are a big thing (and why passing this validator is a big thing) is so your website appears exactly the same and functions exactly the same across multiple platforms and web browsers.
Note that this doesn't have anything to do with the Safari Malware warning - just a general comment on web design and what you should aim to follow.
