Rubbish.

A friend in our web design sig had this problem with his website for 
the Scouts and it took months for it to go away. He had done nothing 
that was malware at all himself. There *may* have been something 
added by a cracker that he couldn't see/find, but eventually it did 
clear, again I think without him doing anything. It was all a mystery.
