Not tried this, but see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12491437#post12491437

Could this be the same problem, ie, mistaken identity of malware on good sites, or bad database content?

Could just be an ad linking to a site flagged as dodgy.

If anyone's interested, it's not blocked anymore. Quoting LQ's admin from a thread on LQ.org about this issue (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/lq-suggestions-and-feedback-7/google-just-said-lq-was-an-attack-site-4175448518):


I can confirm that LQ was not serving malware and that this was the result of one of our ad providers (OpenX). We've stopped using them to serve ads while they clear this up and have notified Google of this.

So everything seems to be fine now.
