I've been on some websites that have had the unwanted software warnings, only to find the site admins posting on the forums saying that the site is safe. They even give instructions on how to turn off the unwanted software warnings in Chrome (which in turn turns off /all/ of Chrome's red security pages).
I think it would be more helpful if the warning page at least described what Google detected. As it stands, if people can be socially engineered into turning off warnings because they don't believe them, then it's failed as a security product to a certain degree.

Of course, this requires the webmaster to sign up with Search Console, but that is quite useful for other features as well. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/163634?hl=en https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/163634?hl=en
