Domain with a Virus History

[JohnW-UK]

Hi,

I have a domain that I am working on that has a past we did not know about. Doing a bit of research it appears that back in 2010 the domain had a link to a virus or had a virus on the domain – because of this certain anti virus sites are blocking the domain. Interestingly Google, Norton, Firefox say the domain is fine.... IE, Kaspersky and a few still block it. I am going through and manually searching and trying to get them to agree the site is safe BUT I am having a problem with mywot.com. They refuse to take down the “reviews” staying its a virus site. Anything I can do? Any suggestions? Any legal action we can take?

Is there anything else I can do or should be doing to check else where?

Thanks in advance

Good question. I think you should reach out to the person who is responsible for removing it from mywot.com.

However, I have never heard of them so I personally wouldn't use my time on it. Instead, I would use my time to write and market great content. You will get more visitors via that vs. people who use mywot.com.

Talk to your webhosting company about it. This recently happened to me.

What were you webhosting company able to do?

What sort of problems did you have? Find it hard to solve?

I assume over time and with good links, content and traffic it will sort itself out...

My site got attacked. That's what I really meant My webhosting company has a part for Malware sites. Maybe your hosting provider has something similar.

I would also send a snapshot of GWT under Malware to show there is nothing wrong anymore. You don't deserve to get blacklisted.

I did... and appealed and they say it's a community based system and to get more reviews.... coughs CON coughs... BUT one or two anti virus sites (the free ones) use there database to mark blacklisted site....
