<p><em>My answer to <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/57644/Warning-this-is-a-bad-site">Warning, this is a bad site!</a> on Ask MetaFilter</em></p> <p>Unfortunately it's not a glitch in the matrix - this happened to a friend of mine. If a site gets this warning and isn't listed on StopBadWare.org it just means that Google have blacklisted it themselves - they don't share their reasons with StopBadWare, and provide no mechanism to find out why they've blacklisted you. The link to StopBadWare is something of a red herring.</p> <p>Unfortunately there's nothing I can suggest as a remedy - Google are completely uncommunicative about this issue, which I think is scandalous.</p> <p><em>Then <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/57644/Warning-this-is-a-bad-site#866613">at 12:43</a>:</em></p> <p>The wiki could be the problem - he really needs to scan through absolutely every page / link on the site looking for anything nasty. My friend's site was eventually re-included.</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ask-metafilter">ask-metafilter</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/malware">malware</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/wiki">wiki</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/yochaibenkler">yochaibenkler</a></p>
