I am having an ongoing saga with this company that google is using to police their listings. About two months ago my host was hacked and there was bad code put onto pages. Now, that was taken off almost straight away and there hasn't been any bad code on the sites since.

So, at first I got all the emails you get saying there was bad code found on your site and you need to fill in some form on stopbadware.org to get your site cleared and then have your links 'clickable' again on google rather than having the full page warning page that google puts in place and the 'this site may harm your computer' tag removed.

Of course I filled those in and waited and then maybe two weeks later I got emails through to all my domains that were flagged saying they had been reviewed and deemed safe and so my sites would back to the normal google staus.

So, I was happy until TWO days later when I once again start getting emails saying my sites have been flagged and need to be reviewed. I go through all my domains and don't see any bad code anywhere (and anyway it is a domain by domain process) and mumble under my breath and resubmit.

Again, I wait and they all come back from the review process as clear. Now, today I check my mail and I get emails saying that they are (to use their term) 're-reviewing' sites on their list.

Is anybody having this headache?
