Update
Update for customers using Google Ads: Volusion has been working closely with the Google Ads team as soon as we received inquiries from customers. Google Ads has confirmed that the malware has been cleaned. However, Google Ads has an automated process that typically takes up to 72 hours from when the malware was cleaned. As we fixed the issue on October 8th, we expect most of the ads to be approved throughout the day today if not already approved.

Update
For customers experiencing declined Adwords buys due to the existence of malicious content, we have escalated this issue to our Google support team. We believe their incident response plan includes shutting down ads to your site until the malware is not detected any longer. We agree with Google’s approach here in that it helps combat malicious theft of data. Although the issues was resolved earlier today, it may take time for Google to catch up.
