Is http://www.explosm.net/ giving anybody else a malware warning from Google? I go there once in a while to check Cyanide and Happiness out, but today (two PCs and places) from Google it is giving me the "Malware" error...
 
Nope, works for me:

last time I clicked OK with Anandtech, I got a fvcking Trojan. Was it Anti Spy Plus or something? Not doing it again. It was a Friday afternoon at 6pm. I didn't want to bug the IT guy with something stupid like this (plus he was gone already... as was 98% of the office), so I stayed an extra hour sweeping my computer.
 
Yup...

So today sure has sucked!

As you are probably well aware of, we were hit with a nasty little malware attack. This malicious little bit of internet assholery snuck in through a 3rd party advertisement. Google caught on quickly and flagged our site, hence the the "Reported Attack Site" warnings.

We have neutralized the nastiness (with lazers) and have been cleared by Google. Expect the warnings to go away soon! Rejoice!

Also, don't forget to check out Dave's comic for today. This malware stuff has been a bit of a hindrance to seeing it.
