I’m currently running Panda Antivirus Pro 2009, which has reported no virus. Just to be safe, I’ve also run a web virus check from Trend Micro. Gumblar and Martuz are prominent enough that I’m sure both programs should catch the virus if they’re on my machine.

A scan by Dasient.com finds no badware on one site. It reports suspected malware from the other site, but this is a hidden iframe that’s part of a shopping cart. The “suspect” code is this:
<iframe style=“width:1px;height:1px;visibility:hidden” id=“submit_frame” src=“/blank.html” name= "submit_frame">

Regardless, repeated requests to Google to reevaluate the site are either not being executed, or the report is not changing. Is there any way to get more information?

Hm, the home pages of both of the sites you provided the web addresses for are currently returning a 401 Unauthorized result code, meaning login is required and wasn’t provided. That’s just to view the home page, not to get somewhere beyond it.

If Google is also getting those 401’s, they aren’t likely to update their status reports because they’re unable to check any pages at all.

My understanding is that Google prefers to see the same pages that used to be there, cleaned, not a closed site or one with all its pages missing.

Are you able to view your website access logs? Last I saw, I think it was an extra-cost option for the basic GoDaddy shared hosting plan, but in this situation being able to view your access logs can be quite helpful.

I would consider that suspect code, a 1×1 pixel hidden iframe, to be suspicious. Have you looked to see what is in “blank.html”.
