For some reason I don't remember coming across this before although it's been around since may 2008.

Seems like a useful idea.

You just plug in a url or host to this URL like this:
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://www.google.com/
 
And whoa! google itself?:
> Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?
> Over the past 90 days, www.google.com appeared to function as an intermediary for the infection of 3 site(s) including terraintamer.com/, anangyunarko.co.cc/, instaldom.pl/.

> Has this site hosted malware?
> Yes, this site has hosted malicious software over the past 90 days. It infected 1 domain(s), including myanmardaily.net/.


Ouch.
