Banned for life is unusual but I've seen people claim to be banned for years despite reconsideration requests for other things. Usually for isolated malware issues they will remove the flag after things are sorted out. But no one but Google knows if there are certain thresholds where if it happens so many times in so many months your site is banned longer. I doubt anyone but Google knows for sure how having say two or three (or five or six?) malware incidents in a year will affect your rankings.
Unfortunately since November I've noticed an average of 1 to 3 reports on GFY of malware from PR popunders per month. If that pattern holds (and it probably will unless more measures are taken)then I wonder if Google will have a problem with a site that has malware every month? You'd think they would. That's kinda why I'm bitching about it.
