Without their knowledge, they were appending viral code to the end their posts in the discussion groups. I'm happy to say that we've already plugged the security hole that allowed this and cleaned the offending code off the site, so the problem has already been taken care of. We've also been in touch with Google in order to get them to re-review the site and remove the warning message. We have not yet heard back from them with a timeframe where that will happen, but hopefully it will be soon. Unfortunately, one of our members had a virus that propagates via web forms.
