Google's Safe Browsing Diagnotics Page

Has your website been hacked? Is your
website marked by Google as one that
may harm your computer?

How do you get started cleaning up and
removing malware code that has been
inserted into a website that has been
compromised?

There's a page that is frequently recommended
by people who write about website malware
cleanup.

This page is the safe browsing page and
can be found here:

Safe Browsing Page

Note that this page refers to my website,
not your website.

Here is how to make it refer to your website
instead:

  1. Click on the above safe browsing link
  2. Look for the address of this page at
    the top of the browser
  3. Notice the domain websiterepairguy.com
    is part of the address to this page.
  4. Replace websiterepairguy.com with
    your domain name.
  5. Hit enter on your keyboard
  6. The safe browsing page now refers to
    your website, not mine

There's an even easier way to get to the
safe browsing page for your site.

Here are the steps:

  1. Do a Google search on your site
  2. Look for the "may harm your computer"
  3. link.
  4. Look for the link above this link.
    The link above is what would be the
    normal search result for your page.
  5. Click the search result that would
    normally take you to your website
  6. Notice that this link does not take
    you to your site as it would normally.
    Instead, the page that comes up
    offers you a link to the safe browing
    page.
  7. Click on the link to the safe
    browsing page

Hope this helps.

I've just given you two different techniques
for reaching the safe browsing page for your
website. All information on the safe browsing
page is compiled by Google.
