How to Remove Chrome's 'Deceptive Site Ahead' Warning and Request a Review

Google's Safe Browsing system triggers a full-page red 'Deceptive site ahead' warning in Chrome when it detects phishing or social-engineering content on a website, such as fake login forms or scareware popups. The warning is distinct from the 'Not Secure' address bar label and the 'This site may be hacked' Search Console alert, each of which has different causes and fixes. In many cases, the flagged content was not placed by the site owner but was injected by an attacker who compromised the site. To resolve the issue, site owners must first identify and remove the offending content — including checking for hidden malicious files, especially on WordPress installations. Once the content is cleaned up, a review request must be submitted through Google Search Console to have the warning lifted.
