Guide To Remove Your Non-Malicious Website from an Antivirus Blacklist
So… you’ve worked years on your beloved website and woken up to find your safe and secure website is on the https://www.virustotal.com/ as a dangerous or malicious site capable of “installing a virus on your computer” or “looking to steal your data using ‘phishing’ techniques”?
Well – if it really is a false positive, possibly reported by some malicious person or group or even a competitor website or service, it’s a pain in the neck and not easy to do (it takes ages and get ready to create spreadsheet) – but there is a way to get your site re-checked as what they call a false-positive URL by these A/V services and removing your website from this very annoying list.
How to get your safe site removed from AV security service blacklists…
First – make a spreadsheet of all the places where your site is miss-represented. Then add in all teh Antivirus services or ISPs that have blocked your site (in the case when it happened to me my ISP said it was blocking my site because the AV companies had – not the other way round) – sort of circular guilty until proven innocent situation and very irritating.
List of AV services and security ‘vendors’ that carry URL and website blacklists…
