How do you fix your declined Adwords ad for malicious or unwanted software?
I created an ad to direct users to https://valuesfit.com/employers
But Adwords declined my ad saying it had "Malicious or unwanted software". I coded every part of the frontend myself (other than 3rd party open source software). I didn't put any malicious code, and I can't find any tools to help me locate any suspicious code. Have any of you run into this? How do I fix this?
I've contacted Adwords support many times, but they refuse to tell me what was found, only that the system marked my site, and they keep telling me to contact my webmaster. Completely useless.
Hi Derek,
The warning doesn't necessarily mean you added malicious code.
Consider scanning those third-party libraries on services like https://snyk.io/vuln/ to see any malicious behavior (although this service scans for the vulnerability it still may lead somewhere), could be originated from their dependencies.
Probably you have already checked this :
Abusing the ad network
Besides, check your server for any suspicious file.
Have you checked webmaster tools for your site?
Which tools should I use?
