A site may be currently be free of malware but it may have a checked past. Also, sites may be blocked based on reviews at services such as OpenDNS and Site Advisor. Your domain – especially a recycled domain newly acquired -may be banned or blocked due to previously delivering malware, trojans, or porn. Automated monitoring is a great idea, but you should also do a background check.
One way is by using the free Domain Background Check cheat sheet at http://siteriver.com/domaintest.php – generates over a dozen links to domain check, anti-malware, and other tools to quickly check if your domain name is ready for business or is still on parole.
