These warnings currently link to a general page on StopBadware.org, but as we finish researching sites, we'll replace the general page with one of our individual website reports

Thank you Google, Lenovo and Sun Microsystems for throwing money at this project
I hate "malware" as much as the next person, but it seems like this is just a prelude to GOOG forcing EVERYONE to pay for their listing. Also now they can potentially sell their "malware" traffic to AdWords buyers. Since they can also control how many "malware" listings show up in the normal results, GOOG can now potentially sell standard listing traffic in the future also...
