Why Is My Site Categorized As “Fraudulent/Displays Malicious Behaviors”?


So I and some other members have noticed that when viewing my site, alerts are popping up from antivirus/malware stating that my site displays “fraudulent/malicious behaviors”.

Why is this?


Ready to put this into action?

I researched my domain ( workathomehow.com ) on multiple site history archives, and found ZERO reports of discrepancies or negative history.

Why is my site doing this?


It CAN’T be good for traffic- who would visit a site rated “unsafe” by their antivirus?

I’ve submitted a ticket to MY antivirus (McAfee) because even my own antivirus says my site is unsafe, but I haven’t heard back from them.

Even still, that’s just ONE antivirus site, I need to make sure ALL software’s don’t mark my site as red.

Any help please?

Thanks

Richie
