Recently, my site is put on warning by the Google. What I mean by put on warning is that when people search my site on Google, result lead to a warning page of Google instead of the targeted page of my site. The warning page of Google said that there is a badware/malware on my site. Google also suggest visiting stopbadware.org for more information. As shown in the pictures below
I have been experienced some delay in opening the home page, even sometime my I.E crashed. But I never thought that this could be due to some hack that had already taken over my website. It was only just two days, even before I could go deep into the details of error, When finally I got this mail from Google stating that they have identified my site as that one who distribute malware or badware. Now I found that some hack have happened to my site. It is trying to download some plug-in in background that is off course not from my domain. So I decided to redirect the user of my site to a maintenance page so that I can peep hard into the source code and do the cleaning stuff. Even I have tried deleting all blog entries and comments. But, I got no success finding malicious script/code. Luckily, I have taken the full backup of my site few days back. So I deleted all current pages and uploaded the backup. It works fine.
Anyway this is the time for me to act fast as traffic of site has taken a plunge. It has gone down by 90%. I fear that Google may drop my pages from its index. This is killing me in frustration. However, I have sorted out the problem but Google yet to do a review on my site. It is necessary to remove that nasty warning message. I have made a Review Request on Google and Stopbadware and keeping my finger crossed. I hope Google and Stopbadware will remove my site from their defaulter list.
Probably, this could be a code insertion hack, some third-party supplied advertising may contain links to badware, or the server hacks may have resulted in the insertion of code onto the site’s webpage.

I don’t like this initiative of google. I have heared many people also blocked by google.
