Malicious Software Suspension
Last Updated on: October 16, 2025
Accounts are suspended under the malicious software suspension if Google detects any form of malware, phishing scripts, auto-downloading files, or other malicious elements on your website or landing page. This includes both intentional abuse and accidental infections caused by poor site security. Google takes user safety seriously, so even one instance of malware can trigger an immediate suspension across all ads.
Example: A business’s WordPress site is compromised by hackers, inserting a redirect to a phishing site. Google detects this and suspends the connected Google Ads account.
