My sites are facing MALWARE issues. One of my site (which I hardly used) got a phishing page added to it, and I had to take it down.

I removed its nameservers setting from Godaddy to take it down for the time being. The phishing link has now been removed by my hosting, but I fear that

its still vulnerable. Another of my site (pretty new, for which still no post was added) got blacklisted and throws MALWARE notification, whenever I try

opening it. Its very disappointing. Please suggest ways to avoid such issues. Are there any free ways to fix this ?

Is getting blacklisted at such an initial stage a big issue ? I read that if problem is fixed then site can be removed from being blacklisted in 1-2 weeks.

Any help is appreciated.

Once you have cleaned up the sites and secured them, you can request Google for a malware review.
 
Ask your host where they entered. Your problem can and likely will be back if it's through FTP.
Super clean your box.
Careful what scripts and plugins you install.
Use passwords that only a password manager can remember.

Good Luck!

and your name is ironic?

Lots of times that I get the malware notification (Google's safe browsing API returning naughty) it has been due to SQL/javascript injection. Lots of bots keep sending form requests until they get one that crashes. Also, just linking to a page like that can screw you up... although I've seen lots of Google+ pages pointing to unsafe domains.

first of all
change your password immidiately
if you were a victim from malware you can have all of your sites compromised
on a sidenote you can also contact your server privider and ask him to do something about it
in my case i spoke with hstgator representative and he reported the isssue

like a plus you can install the wordpress plugin wordreference to secure your sites

Hope it helps

Are you using a borrowed WordPress theme that may be compromised?

is the pluggin called wordreference ?
How can I find and clean the files responsible for current issue?
 
1. Don't use poor passwords. We are in 2014 pass123 is outdated, there is even free tools to have secure passwords.
2. This is why you don't use free, hacked, nulled, and any other form of themes and plugins for wordpress from trusted sources.
3. This is why you don't use share hosting on quality sites.
 
This much is true, the Wordpress theme and plugin market is a dirty, dirty place. I have seen a couple of my compadre's websites hosting all kinds of links he didn't know about. Free software though.. I mean, you get what you pay for. Often times I bet there are just common bugs/exploits that are corrected.. though there is definitely some malintent in lots of cases.

But, I've also seen bots poke values at custom websites doing random SQL/javascript injection... so it's surely not isolated to wordpress.

Is there a chance that you upload files to your website with filezilla-ftp? Filezilla saves the passwords for your websites in plain on your computer in a xml-file which can be read easily if you are infected with spyware/malware on your computer.
Advice: don't save passwords with filezilla.
Other options (if your using wordpress): change password immediately on your wordpress, install wordfence, keep your plugins and your wordpress up-to-date.
Good luck
 
No I do not use filezilla. I have changed my wp login pwds. Should I change cpanel login details too ?
How to get the blacklisting removed ? My other site (hosted by same host) is an adsense site, I fear it getting banned.
 
What was the source of the infection or attack on your sites?
 
thanks for all the suggestions. It seems the free wp theme had issues. I removed it now.
If I start posting on my site now, will my articles get indexed ? (it was blacklisted few weeks ago)
will it be safe to use adsense on this site ?
