My personal site is literally safer than google by google's own tool.

Probably quite a bit less traffic and content too.

Just a smidgen. If you sign up, I would have 1 user. But it's safe.

It's google eating its own tail and doing a 'malware report' on google.com.

Is it the ads? Most malware is distributed through ads. I don't think there's a risk in AdWords text based ads, but the display ads frequently include malicious software. That and download.com. I'm glad I use the ad blocker.

I wonder why your comment is downvoted. It seems there is some bot on this site randomly downvoting comments.

The comparison with Bing is interesting:

"This site was hosted on 25 networks" vs. 3, 1 virus vs. 503.

Few honest questions: 1. If Google detects something as malware, i.e. google software knows that it can be dangerous to users, then why it cannot prevent itself from acting as intermediary? Also, why it does not stop hosting malware? 2. >>> Malicious software is hosted on 279 domain(s), including 24corp-shop.com/, abu-farhan.com/, soaksoak.ru/. These web domains do not belong to Google. It seems google is downloading…

> Also, why it does not stop hosting malware?

Keep in mind that this is not reporting malware is currently present, it is reporting that at the last time it checked it found malware, which may have been taken down since then. It doesn't tell you anything about how long it stayed up.

> These web domains do not belong to Google. It seems google is downloading several pages onto its server for various purposes.

I have no specific knowledge of this, but my guess would be that these are just the targets of links.

Welp, that's fraud.
