What can a site Owner do in this situation? Does Google provide information on why a site is flagged?


Not really. I had a few websites that ran on Wordpress and got "infected" because of some vulnerabilities in a plugin. I had to manually remove the malware code - usually it's pretty easy to find - and go through Google website verification https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en...


The Safe Browsing diagnostic page is your best bet when this happens.

Edit: Firefox provides these links in the form of a button labeled "Why was this page blocked?"


I wrote this a while back after having Google flag my site as malicious. http://www.besttechie.com/2011/09/19/how-to-fix-site-google-...


You can submit the site for review in google webmastertools but i think that is only for serps removal. Also AFAIK Chrome takes malware data from google's severs so webmsatertools seems to be the place to go.
