Hope this is the correct place to post this.

I just received a malware warning on page 3 of this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ous-vapers-please-contribute.html#post1268998

It looks like the issue is with a Smoking Everywhere ad. Here's the text of the Google diagnostics page:

What is the current listing status for smokingeverywhere.com?
Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this web site may harm your computer.

Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 5 time(s) over the past 90 days.

What happened when Google visited this site?
Of the 33 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 4 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2010-04-19, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2010-04-19.
Malicious software includes 2 scripting exploit(s), 2 exploit(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 2 new process(es) on the target machine.

etc.

Any thoughts?

Seems like Google is a pretty smart cookie..

Not so fast. Google is fighting a hard battle against malware infected sites that manage to appear near the top of Google search results. Don't blindly click a link. 2 customers hit in the last 7 business days clicking on a Google result.

They can't filter out the problems fast enough but it's not for a lack of trying.
