Do I have badware, Google thinks so, so does stopbadware dot com
I never knew I am hosting badware until I saw Google telling me the same. Of late Google has been showing the Badware warning along with results to my site that a visitor may get infected by Malware if they visit my site. As far as I know I have no intention to distribute malware (I don’t know hot to make them nor do I like them) but to run a successful Technology blog.

So what exactly caused the warning. It turned out that Google gets the badsite database from StopBadware dot org . So I went to the site and searched their database for any inclusion of my site but found none. There is a chance that a site doesn’t show up in their searches so I send them a review request. I think the problem is either in some sites I linked to or the links in the post Unexpected error on your home WP blog’s page. When I copy pasted the error the link to function.main was also copied (I have removed the links). But the report at Google Webmastertools said that the following URLs were in the hit list.
http://www.exnol.com/
http://www.exnol.com/tag/
http://www.exnol.com/web/
http://www.exnol.com/wordpress/
http://www.exnol.com/tag/editing

http://www.exnol.com/wordpress/why-is-my-template-selection-page-in-wordpress
-showing-error-or-css-code
Among these there were no common elements, so I think the GMail page and error page should have done the nasty trick for me. But still I couldn’t find out the true reason - so I have send a request to both Google and stopbadware for a review. Lets wait and see. If you some of you have got any idea please contact me
