New (clean) website - blacklisted!

Jump to solution

So,

I am a web developer (php programmer) and I thought on having my own vCard online would help me positively on building my profile.

But I see I was totally wrong! Got a shared hosting account at Hostgator and all I have in that account is a single index.html file and an yet-unused email address. But my site is blacklisted by McAfee (only) - no idea why or how.

Tried contacting McAfee but no answer at all.

My domain is mysterio.info

How should I proceed?

               As I said , a Fellow Moderator may quite possibly pick this thread up, whom is more technically astute in regards to Site Advisor/Trusted Source than I am. Thus being could better assist you and go more in-depth if you will.Due to his Geographical Location/Time zone would be the determining factor.

mysterio.info is not new at all - it's existed since at least 2005 and you've owned it since at least 2012.

Internet Archive Wayback Machine

You might have just been unlucky and been assigned the IP address of a site which previously hosted malware...

Back in 2005 I didn't even know what a domain is, actually.

Right, I registered it 2012 as a domain an it was set up on march this year.

So what now? Does it mean it will be blacklisted forever?!

How do I clean it?

                      The reason I asked is that one cannot expect a reply instantaneously. There may be lots a variables/reasons for your Site to be rated as such. One being that as Safeboot mentioned, it could possibly be that you have been assigned an IP Address that once was flagged for Malware.

                        Quite possibly one will pick up this thread whom is most knowledgeable in regards to Site Advisor/Trusted Source, and go into more analytical depth.

Wishing you all the best,

Yes, I have followed it.

Did that twice during this last week but nothing changed.

Should I wait more?
