The only ignorant here is you. You just quoted a definition of badware.

That's all you did. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you really want to show what they think there why note exactly quote it........

Google has found that some portion of hydrachess.com/ contains or links to badware or otherwise violates Google's software guidelines.

So Google found what? Back to square one........

And is it really loading anything that exosts that os bad?

Doh. You are as bright as a blackout if you cannot read the words from your own link.
