When and why was my site flagged for malware? Learn in near real-time!

Friday, April 09, 2010

We’ve been hearing this question for many years from webmasters. That’s why we built features
such as the
Safe Browsing API, the
malware review form,
and our
Malware details Labs feature.

As of today, once we notice your site is infected, we’ll do our best to send an e-mail to the
address you have associated with your account in Webmaster Tools. We believe malware is such an
important issue for site owners that being quickly informed is beneficial to you and your
website’s visitors.

In addition, we’ve promoted our Malware details feature out of Labs and placed it under
Diagnostics. The malware data is now updated four times faster than before, we’ve updated our
algorithms for identifying injected content, and we’re now able to identify exploits which we were
unable to catch earlier.

We hope this allows you to stay up-to-date with any malware issues we detect on your site, and to
fix them quickly.

As always, please let us know if you have any feedback or questions about how to fix
malware-related issues in our
Webmaster Help Forum.

We archive Search Central announcements because client questions often trace back to a change that was announced years ago. Reading the original is faster than reconstructing it from second-hand summaries.
