When searching for my website in Bing this happens:<br />

the search results are valid.<br />
cannot get to the website.<br />
this message is displayed: The link to this site is disabled because it might download malicious software that can harm your computer.<br />
<br />
I can't find the cause of this. &nbsp;something similar happens with searches in Yahoo, but Google works ok and I can browse to every page on the site without a problem. &nbsp;have tried IE, Firefox, Chrome- same thing happens regardless of browser. &nbsp;<br />

I would like to get this message removed as quickly as possible. &nbsp;Have contacted Bing and received an automated reply. &nbsp;Not sure how long it will take them to fix it.<br />

am open to out-of-the-box ideas such as taking the website down and putting it up on another host.

Bing disables link to website due to malicious software download

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
