Malware

If I had a shiny pound for every time I'd been asked about Malware, then I'd be worth at least, well, three or four pounds. Maybe even a fiver.

So, without further ado, here's what the Google team have to say about it.

Bottom line:
If you've picked up a warning and you're convinced you're clean, chances are you've been hacked and you haven't found it yet.
Log into Webmaster Tools and check it out. There'll be some info there.
Once you've cleaned things, that's also the place from which to request a review.

Assuming you're clean, it shouldn't take more than a day for the warning to disappear, barring acts of God.
