Google Says Your Site Is Dangerous or Deceptive? How to Remove the Warning

That red warning means Google’s Safe Browsing found malware, phishing or unwanted software on your site, usually from a hack. Clean the site completely, close the hole that let attackers in, then request a review in Google Search Console, which typically clears the warning within days.
