Recently one of my friend was on a holiday and his website which makes him around 300$/day from google adsense was stuffed with some malicious code on the homepage because of which his website was on a risk of getting search engines ban. Generally search engines like Google, Yahoo warn you before access websites like these and if your website has this kind of stuff embedded in the pages you can expect a loss of your website traffic along with brand problem because the warning appears in the search engines directly.
Badware Warning malicious software
Website Spyware Cookies
Google is Malware – Says Yahoo!
If you run a website/blog and are feared about getting banned from the search engines if your website is filled with malicious links then its better to scan your website continiously.
Check out Hack Alert which is a service which helps you to continiously scan and monitor your websites in order to find out if there are any malicious codes inserted into your website pages without your knowledge. There are not only online attacks but sometimes the local virus which is on your PC can get transferred to your host server and can give a bad effect. There are 2 types of memberships ie free and paid, where in the free membership account you can scan your 2 websites on regular intervals in schedules.
