I could not belive it when somebody who knows me emailed me to tell me one of my sites had been listed on google search as having malware on it. I was never contacted by the site below and they state that they allways try and contact the owner of the site I have a google webmaster account and my email is on the whois for my website. After searching and scanning my site, checking the cgi-bin scripts..ect I found nothing. It makes me angry that a company who has the power to mess up your google search engine listing does not take many steps to even try to contacting the webmaster before flaging the site. I also see that Im not the only one who has been caught out with this. After asking for a review they have now removed my site from their list and I still have not received a single email explaining what the cause was or why it was flagged from any employer from "stopbadware.org" what a great stand up company!!

I think you can contact them and ask to remove bad reviews of your site if it's not true.

Hi I have contacted them, there is a website review button on thier website which sends a request to have your website removed and after complaining about not contacting me before flagging my website they did very quickly remove the warning. I just wish that they had at least contacted me before having my website listed on google as having malware. It stops people from clicking on your site and I have no idea how long it had been listed for, I only found out about it from somebody that knows me emailed me.They have 285244 websites listed as having malware and I wonder how many webmasters actually know that thier website is or has been listed.
