The BBC reports that Google has taken down tonnes of domains carrying malicious code. Most of the domains seem to be the previously discussed chinese domain extension and showing up at the top of the SERPs for innocent searches.

What seems interesting but the article doesn't explain fully is that it appears the malicious code only appears from Google referals. MSN and Yahoo referals don't seem to trigger it.
