You wake up in the morning one day and decide to browse your site to see how many visitors are on your site. With cup of coffee in one hand, you click that bookmark that you’ve clicked now for the 504th time but…this time something is different….a dark red screen. Hmmm…could this be your site? A look in your address bar confirms it is your site. What on earth could have caused this!?!?
Unfortunately, someone found a security hole in your website and exploited it. In most cases the “hacker” has injected your pages with various types of malicious code which could be anything from porn sites, to Viagra sales to programs designed to infect your visitor’s computers. On top of that, they probably have left a file in your website allowing them free access to your host and in turn, any other sites/files you have on that host.
This warning obviously won’t go away on its own. The malicious code must be removed, your site secured and then Google notified that the clean up was completed. Once Google verifies your site is fine, the warning will be removed.
Unless you’re proficient with HTML and in other cases PHP, trying to clean up your site can leave it in worse shape.
We have completed over 55 clean-up type jobs where we were able to successfully remove the malicious code and in most cases provide additional security to the site to keep it from happening again. In some cases your site is your livelihood and time is money.
Our average clean-up cost is $40.00USD, one hour of our time. For a specific quote, please contact us and we can take a look at your site and give you an exact quote and time frame for us to clean up your site and get it back on its feet!
