In short<\/b>The red warning shown before your site opens comes from Google Safe Browsing, which many browsers use. It appears when Google finds malware, phishing pages or malicious redirects on your site. The fix: confirm the cause in Search Console, clean the whole site and close the hole, then request a review from the same tool.<\/div>\n

Steps to fix it<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Check your site\u2019s status:<\/b> Open Google\u2019s Safe Browsing check page transparencyreport.google.com\/safe-browsing\/search<\/code> and enter your domain.<\/li>\n
  2. Open Search Console:<\/b> Add your site if needed, then open \u201cSecurity issues\u201d. You will see the problem type and sample infected URLs.<\/li>\n
  3. Clean the whole site:<\/b> Scan files with ImunifyAV<\/a>, follow the malware removal steps, and delete planted pages and folders.<\/li>\n
  4. Close the cause:<\/b> Update WordPress and plugins, remove unused ones and change every password. If the door stays open, the infection and the warning come back.<\/li>\n
  5. Confirm the listed URLs are clean:<\/b> Open the URLs Google listed in a private window and on mobile too.<\/li>\n
  6. Request a review:<\/b> In the same \u201cSecurity issues\u201d section click \u201cRequest review\u201d and briefly describe what you found and how you fixed it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Do not request a review before cleaning fully:<\/b> if Google finds the same infection during review, the warning stays. Clean first, confirm, then request the review.<\/div>\n
