Remove Harmful Site Label from Your Website on Google Search Results

Sometimes Google marks websites which are harmful on search results to prevent users from getting spy ware, viruses and other malware. If you were labeled as “dangerous” by accident or for a reason, you can remove the label by following the steps:

  • Clean up your site / server of all malware. If you don’t think there are any, run a scan to be sure.
  • Next, go to webmaster tools and request a review (explaining the details).
  • It will take anywhere from few hours to few days to review the website and get back to you.

Webmasters are eager to have a Google malware label removed from their site and often ask how long a review of the site will take. Both the original scanning and the review process are fully automated. The systems analyze large portions of the internet, which is big place, so the review may not happen immediately. Ideally, the label will be removed within a few hours. At its longest, the process should take a day or so. - SEO Roundtable
