What should I do if my site is blocked by a browser that contains malicious software?

Most modern browsers use updated online lists of fraudulent sites: resources that contain phishing or dangerous content (viruses) for visitors' software. The reason for adding a site to these lists is usually the presence of fraudulent content, but it is also possible to enter it by mistake.

If when you enter the site, you see a page on a red background with a warning "Beware of malicious software" - this means that your site was included in such a list, you need to familiarize yourself with the reasons for adding it to the lists and take measures to remove unwanted content. Online lists of fraudulent sites are periodically updated, and if the content has been removed from the resource, it will be unblocked soon, and there is also an option to speed up the unblocking.
