First, you should make sure your website no longer hosts malware, spam or any other potentially harmful content. You can do it by yourself or if you're ThreatSign customer you can simply let us do it for you.
To check by yourself, you can start with online scanning via VirusTotal and/or Quttera online scanner. When reviewing the reports make a list of vendors that detect your website.
For example in VirusTotal report:
VirusTotal report |
In detection ratio you can see the number of detected engines. Below, in the Analysis tab find URL scanners that mark your site as Malware site. Later we'll see hot to request a retesting by them.
In Quttera security report. In addition to the Blacklisting you see the file-by-file breakdown with all potentially suspicious content. Expand the Scanned files analysis tab and review the threat dump for each file. Go on and check manually each one of them on your server. Remove the threat and try to re-scan again.

Once you're sure your website is clean you can continue to the next stage of the process - submit for review/ re-test.
Submit website(s) for review by blacklisting authorities
