    i just finished minutes ago my link check and pR update of my directory list - a periodical work I repeat every few weeks.

    during such a site verification ( check for 404 ) run - I usually get around 10-20 warnings/alerts from virus software for malware/virus on sites checkd.

    hence having malware on sites is very common

    however

    the malware may be part of the advertising, like imges, banners, etc running on that site, hence it may originate from a third party server or site.

    to punish without knowing ALL details would be human style eventually - but wrong style definitely.

    the fact that G gives a warning message eventually becomes known to the actual site owner who then hopefully KNOWS what to do and how to end the threat.

    who ever that site is in relationship to YOU ( competitor ? ) a much better solution than to waste your time here might be to inform that site owner and thus help him to solve his security problem. he may be totally unaware ........
