Website malware warnings triggered by Google Safe Browsing
15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Google Safe Browsing can flag websites when malware is detected during scanning, often due to compromised advertising networks serving malicious content instead of ads
- Multiple antivirus tools may show the same warning because they rely on shared threat databases or similar detection methods
Depends on
- The discussion does not confirm whether the website actually contained malware or if it was a false positive
- No details provided about how long the warning persisted or whether the site owner addressed the issue
