If you're not going to give us the exact url that spawned the warning,
then why bother posting?

It's a waste of time if we don't have the exact URL so we can grab a
sample of the malware.

Nothing to warn about there. Perhaps they were compromised and are
cleaning up.

They probably have to remove iframes from all of their webpages.

Perhaps not the post, but something *in* the post warrants an alert.
Some anti-badstuff programs not only scan for malware, but follow found
links to *other* locations and search them too. A posted URL to a photo
hosting site that is "infected" with an iframe to a known malware server
site might get investigated by antimalware/safe surf type programs.

Do you recall the "price of rice in china" post I made a while back? It
turned out that I posted a URL that was currently (or at one time)
leading to malware, a safe surfing browser feature finding that post on
a web based NNTP gateway could make one believe the gateway itself was
infected because the safe browsing feature followed links posted there
to exploits with no teeth.
