Hmm that sucks. All I can suggest is you systematically remove content from the page until the error stops - this way perhaps you can identify the offending content (or combination of content which aggregates to an "offence")
There is no offending content here. We are not a SaaS company and we dont host content. We provide shrink ware software to other companies which they use to host content.

Ah, we did have a feature sorta-kinda like that too... if you had your own domain you login on our webUI, enter in your own domain and if no other user had it, you'd get it. Then, you add a CNAME record pointing to us and we'd do certain things when we received the request depending on settings the customer provided during the domain-name setup. I think we used the Referrer in the request-headers. So I could point po…
We are not a SaaS or PaaS business. The software itself is hosted by the end customer in thier infrastructure. The warning appears even in local IP/debug page.
Another thing it could be is if you fetch any assets at all from your domain, and the domain is blacklisted, that causes the warning regardless of the page where it is hosted.

That failing, get money for them blocking a competitor. before downvoting, take the time to explain how this would be different from old good Google suing Microsoft just for not making their product use Google easier than it already allowed.

Yeap. That summarizes our issue. The next step for us is to hire PR and go public. We are spending 1500$ per month on google adwords now. May be use that money to get some legal help. In a physical world it is a clear public defamation case.
Google's failure to respond to issues like this is appalling, and it's probably going to take a lawsuit and public embarrassment to get them to stop being evil.

#30Hey there, I actually worked for a "competitor" of yours at one time in my career. We had a very similar problem, turned out that one of our users shared(probably unknowingly) a file containing malware and probably posted it to their twitter or facebook(we had that feature built-in at the time). This URL was caught by a very popular anti-virus company, which posted it on their site. I guess the software phones-home t…
Hi, Our software is little different. It is a self-hosted software. It is hosted by our customers under different domain names in their infrastructure. So it is not the same domain or URL. For Example: Customer 1: fileshare.abcplumbing.com Customer 2: dataanywhere.peterlawfirm.com Thats the real problem here. It affects our customer installations under different domains. To some extent, we are fine if google is block…
This is, of course, just a random guess to throw into your brainstorm.
