Google recently discovered that my wordpress site had been hacked and
malicious iframe had been inserted (yay, thanks!).

I've removed the malicious content, upgraded wordpress, and changed
passwords.  I've submitted my fixed site to stopbadware.

But I can't do what http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=45432&q...
suggests, because I cannot find "Request a review" anywhere on my
Webmaster tools dashboard.  Am I just being stupid?

   1. Sign in to Webmaster Tools with your Google account.
   2. On the Dashboard, select the site you want.
   3. On the Overview page, click Request a review and follow the
instructions.

Step #3 is wrong, isn't it?

Likewise, I find *nothing* like what is described here
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2007/08/malware-reviews-vi...
available on my Webmaster Tools.  What's wrong?

Thanks,
Gary

In my case, I couldn't get the link because google's tool doesn't seem
to know that 'http://some.thing/blog' belonged to the site 'http://
some.thing/'.  I had to manually add the "../blog" URL to dashboard
*as a distinct site* in order to get the "review" link to appear.
Once I did that, I could request the review.

IMHO, this is a bug.  Google Webmaster Tools peeps, don't you think
so?

Al is correct; if only a certain section of your site has been
affected by malware (such as the /blog subfolder), you'll need to add
that section specifically to your Webmaster Tools account in order to
see the malware review notice. A great way to figure out which
section(s) have been affected is to do a site: search and see which
URLs have the malware label in search results.

Al, I agree that it would be nice to bubble this up to the top level
of the site (so that you can look at the Overview page for example.com
and see that there's malware on example.com/blog), and I've passed
your feedback along to our team.
