Ask HN: Google Ads is suspending my account over "Malicious Software"?

1 pointsby yoouareperfectabout 1 year ago
Hey HN, how are you doing?<p>I&#x27;m in the midst of launching my startup and thought of creating some google ads.<p>However, after 4 hours of setting up conversion tracking directly. I&#x27;m being hit with this suspension out of the blue.<p>I just can&#x27;t understand it and Google&#x27;s support is extremely cryptic on what&#x27;s going on.<p>My stack is Next.js on Render.<p>My best guess for the issue is that I&#x27;m using Hotjar and Posthog for screen recording and product analytics measurement.<p>Could that be it?<p>I&#x27;m really baffled, I&#x27;m a solo founder and was really counting on being able to run Google Ads to get some momentum.<p>Thanks in advance

Can you link to your website? Maybe it&#x27;s about the website itself, not the tools you are using on it.<p>PS: If you want to avoid both Hotjar and Posthog, you can go with a self-hosted solution like UXWizz, maybe it is less likely to have issues with ads if you don&#x27;t send external requests
