False positive

advmedny.com is now ranked as "high risk" and in "malicious sites" category - which is incorrect and hurts the legitimate healthcare business. There is no malicious code in the site. Reports on SiteAdvisor and TrustedSource do not give any details about the reason of this rating. I would appreciate any advise about how to change that and to avoid that in future.

I noticed a very similar question recently. Perhaps this reply to that question will help

Re: False positive

Hello romandesign,

advmedny.com is now listed in the Health category in the Trusted Source database. The web reputation was set to minimal risk and Site Advisor has it green.

Best regards,

Peter

Re: False positive

It's fixed now. Interesting how it happened though... Why would the site go to the "high risk" if it never had malicious code in it? Could it be false reports/complaints from competitors? Any SEO tricks from the company my client has hired for a while? No reason whatsoever?

Re: False positive

Hello romandesign,

the high risk and malicious category have not been set due to a false report, complaint or SEO trick.

It was based on proactive Trusted Source technology detection.

By today, Trusted Source does not detect any behaviour on the website that would cause such a high risk detection again.

Best regards,

Peter

Re: False positive

Whoever your client hired to do SEO has used some lame techniques to plant links, like

Re: False positive

By the way, your site currently has no rating on WebOfTrust. You should seriously consider doing some revisions before anyone there reviews it. While you have a privacy policy, it is hard to find. And your SSL certificate name does not match the website. The contact form invites people to submit medical questions, but defaults to non-encrypted http instead of https.
