Google Warns of 'Infected' Auction Tool [news.bbc.co.uk]
A third-party add-on for eBay used by thousands of sellers is being flagged by Google as potentially malicious, after it became infected with a trojan.

Auctiva provides tools for sellers on the popular auction website. The company confirmed a virus had attached itself to files on its servers but remedied the problem soon after.

However, Google continues to warn users searching for the site that it "may potentially harm your computer".

This may stay in effect until Google get the latest data from stopbadware. I'm not sure if google manage the data in any way, or if they will simply wait for their data suplier to provide a fresh data set.
