I advertise malicious software on Google Ads

A developer was unable to advertise a legitimate macOS terminal application (RACE) on Google Ads after their account was suspended for "malicious software" and "compromised site," with no explanation provided. Despite multiple appeals and comprehensive security verification showing the application, website, and downloads are clean according to Google Safe Browsing and VirusTotal, Google repeatedly rejected the appeals without clarifying what constituted the alleged malware or compromise. The developer highlights the frustration of being blocked from advertising without transparency or actionable feedback to address the accusations.
