Hello everyone, A few hours ago, Google sent us a warning e-mail saying that HelpNDoc's installer was tagged as a "Harmful Download". Google chrome (and Firefox) now blocks the download page: https://www.helpndoc.com/download Obviously, the software is signed using a valid paid certificate, and considered safe according to: Virus Total (recommended by Google in this case): https://www.virustotal.com/#/url/9c7132772f4e9fc4d71af6f41ab8af80421918be083e8bdf4228b5a28239cafc/detection Kaspersky: https://whitelisting.kaspersky.com/advisor#search/5a60464c1de8a3792146dfdfb06cdcbd We have requested a review from Google but a few hours later, we received a "Review failed" e-mail. It looks like we are not the only ones based on the posts on the official Google webmaster forum: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/webmasters I see that the Delphi shop "greatis" seems to have the same problem (we do not use any of their component) but that makes me think that some other Delphi application might be targeted: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/webmasters/CThwZ6Oq9Ck;context-place=forum/webmasters Did you receive similar security issue from Google ? Best regards, John, HelpNDoc team.

Thanks. Already did that as this is the only person I knew with both Delphi and Chrome experience. Didn't receive any answers from him yet. Not sure he has the time or ability to help but who know...

Thank you for your feedback. I can confirm that HelpNDoc's download page and setup EXE was cleared by Google yesterday, after our third review request and more than 48 hours blockage. We didn't get any explanation as to what was problematic in the first place and Google's recommended Virus Total web-site didn't even report anything problematic with dozens of anti-viruses. As mentioned by spwolf, this Google decision blocks every users from Chrome AND Firefox (as they are using the same database) from downloading the software and accessing the download page, showing a scary red "malware detected" page instead. It doesn't help the software vendor understanding what is wrong in any ways. Here is how Google (bots!) handled this issue: On the 30th of November 10:09 GMT, we received multiple alerts from Google webmaster console that "Malicious or unwanted software were detected" on our company (ibe-software.com) and software (helpndoc.com) pages. It didn't include any explicit instructions or details about the problem and by browsing through the help pages, it was mentioned that VirusTotal.com was a trusted source for Google bots We confirmed that everything was fine with the download (MD5 + VirusTotal check) and immediately requested for a review 3 hours later, the review failed for helpndoc.com only. This was the exact same message without any additional information. No news from ibe-software.com requests. We made some changes based on user supported Google webmaster forums such as removing redirects to CDN, creating a new release (re-build, re-package, re-sign...) and therefore changing the file name... and requested another review 6 hours later, the review finally came back and was successful for ibe-software.com, which linked to the exact same file. 24 hours later, the review failed again for helpndoc.com yet is was clear for ibe-software.com. Once again, there wasn't any explanation from Google's automated e-mail message We had to wait another 24 hours for the third review on helpndoc.com to succeed and we do not even know why! As we were clueless and it impacted multiple software vendors, we were able to make the following observations. Perhaps this could help other software vendors in case this happens again (fingers crossed): The installer doesn't seem to be the problem: we are using Inno Setup but other reports suggest that other installers were impacted as well (Wise, nullsoft) The code signing certificate doesn't seem to be the problem: we are using a recently renewed Comodo code signing certificate and have came across other applications using Comodo without this problem, and other applications using other certificate issuers with the same problem The programming language COULD be the problem: we are using Delphi 10.1 Berlin and it looks like most applications are written using Delphi. Another impacted software vendor is using C++ Builder Web-site technology such as SSL, redirections... doesn't seem to be the problem: only the download file is marked as malware (and therefore the pages linking to it) while Virus Total confirms that the download is fine Here is the "most official" thread for this problem. Other software vendors are still waiting to get cleared: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/webmasters/CThwZ6Oq9Ck;context-place=starred I fully understand that false positive happens from time to time and this wouldn't be such as problem if it only impacted some anti-virus software. But it is important to keep in mind that this decision from Google was blocking all users from Chrome and Firefox, which currently represents more than 71% of our trafic! I believe that software vendors should be concerned about this hegemonic Google situation. If you have any contact at Google, it might be worth raising this issue or talk about it to other software vendors to be able to better fight Google bots decisions in the future. Thanks to anyone who tried to help here, on Facebook or the Google thread.
