      Someone just reported that our website was showing malware attack page on their browsers.

      We checked and saw a bad php code on the above of our index.php file.

      We removed it and made it clean.

      Still all the visitors are getting malware attack page.

      How to fix this ?

      Site is already clean.

        Went to Google Webmaster Tools and clicked on SUBMIT SITE FOR REVIEW AGAIN.

        Did it.

        How much time does it take for this ?

          Might take a couple of days unfortunately, but should be only a few hours.

          The malware error is not being produced by people coming to the site specifically, as in it's not being checked and generated each time.

          Google itself is probably getting the data from stopbadware (I think) and you'll find it's only on certain browsers as well that subscribe.

          Rather than rely on solving the problem through WMT I had better success by tackling a similar problem through the stopbadware (or whatever site it is) channels.

          Try accessing the site through bing/google on IE/FF/Chrome/Opera/Safari and see what advice is thrown up during the warning. It should give you a link to the appropriate site to fix things on.

          In fact, try going here - http://stopbadware.org/home/reviewinfo - use the tool and then request a check.

            Okay, I just checked on Sucuri , Google diagnostics, etc and it says, site is clean , but status is blacklisted by Google.

            So, I have to wait for Google now.

            Already applied on WMT for review and posted at WMT forums as well.

            People at WMT said, it takes few hours to 24 hours only.

              Hi Soumendra,

              Is this resolved? if so, how long did it take to get resolved? Or do you still need some help?
