Don't let your site get banned by Google

The Web can be a dangerous place. Let Site Scanner protect you.
Site Scanner looks for weaknesses on your website that a hacker can exploit. It scans forms, login and password fields, internal and external links – places where a hacker could get in to deface your website, steal information or infect your customers with malware. Site Scanner scans for more than 3,000 vulnerabilities every day, including spyware, back doors, SQL injection opportunities and cross-site scripting (XSS) holes. Here are just a few common examples:
Stealing your customer information
Input fields can be a hacker's playground. Any field that asks a visitor to enter information like their name, address, email, login name or password can allow a hacker into your website database, exposing all of your customer's information! When fields aren't checked properly, hackers can insert code that exposes everything in your database. This is a favorite exploit for identity theft.
Defacing your website
There is no better way to scare off customers than for a hacker to vandalize your website. Hackers can inject malicious code into input fields, so when your visitors submit comments or forms, derogatory messages appear. This makes it clear that your site is not secure!
Infecting your customers
Links on your website are also a common access point for hackers. For example, you may include a link on your site for your customers to download product information. If the URL is not properly checked on the server side, hackers can inject malicious code that redirects customers to another site and deploys spyware or malware to their computers.
Don't be blacklisted by Google®!
Without Site Scanner, you might not even know that your website is being used to spread malicious software. If your site is deemed "suspicious" by Google, they will "blacklist" it from their search engine – causing you to lose traffic, customers and sales. Site Scanner works to alert you of vulnerabilities before this can happen – and checks Google Safe Browsing daily to make sure your website isn't on the "blacklist".

If I have an SSL Certificate, why do I need Go Daddy Website Protection Site Scanner?
An SSL certificate secures the information being passed back and forth between your visitors and your website (i.e. credit card information, login name and password). While both an SSL certificate and our Web vulnerability scanner work to secure websites and their visitors, only the security scanner can identify and help you close potential security holes in other areas of your website.
For more information, see Differences Between Site Scanner, SSL, and Anti-Virus.
I have anti-virus software. Do I need Go Daddy Website Protection Site Scanner?
Yep. Anti-virus software protects your computer from malware and viruses, but it doesn't extend to protect your website. Anti-virus software can't detect existing vulnerabilities in your site such as cross-site scripting and code injections. Plus, Go Daddy Website Protections Site Scanner notifies you when security threats and vulnerabilities are discovered on your website.
