If you see a big red screen before your site, that can mean a variety of things. If you see "The site ahead contains malware", Google has detected that your site distributes malware. If you see "The site ahead contains harmful programs", then the site has been flagged for distributing unwanted software. "Deceptive site ahead" warnings indicate that your site may be serving phishing or social engineering. Your site could have been hacked to do any of these things.

At Google, we have different processes to deal with these scenarios. Scanning tools will often detect malware, but they can miss the spamming hacks. A clean verdict from Safe Browsing does not mean that you haven't been hacked to distribute spam.
