Request a Malware Review from Yahoo

Updated: June 29, 2011

Once the malware on your website has been removed a malware review needs to be requested from Yahoo to get the malware warning removed from Yahoo's search listings ("Warning: Hacking Risks", "Dangerous Downloads"). You can also request a malware review from Bing to have the warning removed, as Yahoo now uses malware data from Bing.

  1. Go to the Yahoo! Search Help Form..
  2. In the drop down box under the text "What are you writing about?" select "Site Owner issues (SearchScan, Site Explorer, etc.)".
  3. In the Comments field explain that you believe that you have fixed the security issue and the website is now clean.
  4. Fill out the rest of the fields on the page.
  5. Then click "Submit"
