Malware is there and I just can't find it

I run <snip> (multi million pageviews/week)

Been getting the "This site may harm your computer." warning on Google
search for the past few weeks. I can't find anything. My appeal to
stopbadware.org was rejected because they said I still have malware.

I'm getting emails from visitors telling me they're being slammed with
popups trying to download activex junk onto their computers. I've
never had or allowed popups on the site. Site seems perfectly fine
when I access (no popups on my end) #*$!?

My tech guys can't find anything? They think it may be one of the ad
networks I'm running but I'm just not sure (they're all major networks
and I don't know how they'd let something like this slip by) Can
anyone help or point me in a direction where I can find some help?

Nick

p.s. Here are the ad network I'm running:

Google Adsense
Kontera
Media Mayhem
Adbrite
Vizu Answers
Blogads
CPX Interactive
ad{net} interactive

"Please do not drop promotional urls, signature files, nor specifics that would lead people to your site."

Unfortunately, there is no way on WebmasterWorld that you can ask others (publicly) to look at your site. It's constraining at times, but we have to live with it.

Also, listen to what you are asking us: you are asking us to go to a site that Google says may harm our computer. How many of us do you think are willing to do that?

I know it's frustrating. But we really can only offer you general advice.

Here's my little contribution - access your site from various places around the Internet until you see the popups. Use free proxys. Ask your users for more specifics, so that you can determine just what they are viewing when the see the popups.

Oh, yea, once you discover the problem - fire your tech guys. Sorry to be harsh, but this is what you hired them for.

Your site is infected with a download to try to get them to run a malware scan but in fact it downloads a bunch of trojan junk.

It is very serious and you will be done if not corrected and corrected fast.

The warning is not on the main doamin but it is infected as well.
Call in for some help and hire a better tech team they don't know what to look for.

Has a scan been run on your server?

Have you looked for an <iframe code in your pages? Especially index.* pages. Also look in Apache manual index.html pages
