I Checked Google suspicious site browser today and it looks as if the infection is growing in intensity and mass.
It has been over a week and not only is the malware still implanted in autopia but they have left the site up and running instead of taking it down for repairs.

Visitors are still being infected with multiple viruses.

The management of autopia.org knows this but apparently does not care.
Some are discribing it as "Weapons Grade Malware".

What is the current listing status for autopia.org?

Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this web site may harm your computer.

Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 4 time(s) over the past 90 days.

What happened when Google visited this site?

Of the 827 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 456 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2010-09-05, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2010-09-05.
Malicious software includes 8 scripting exploit(s), 8 trojan(s), 6 exploit(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 3 new process(es) on the target machine.

Malicious software is hosted on 8 domain(s), including plotecco.co.cc/, autourl.in/, browserservices.in/.

1 domain(s) appear to be functioning as intermediaries for distributing malware to visitors of this site, including plotecco.co.cc/.

This site was hosted on 3 network(s) including AS31815 (MEDIATEMPLE), AS32244 (LIQUID), AS26496 (PAH).

Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?

Over the past 90 days, autopia.org appeared to function as an intermediary for the infection of 1 site(s) including stumbleupon.com/.

Has this site hosted malware?

No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

How did this happen?

In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.

Same thing happened to me! If my boss ever found out I'd be in big trouble! Still trying to get all of the garbage out. Right now the only problem that I can see is that google is hijacked so any google links I click on go to a site other than the one I am trying to get to. Luckily I was able to get rid of the most annoying part which was anything opening up would be flagged as a virus by that bull****** malware. There should be a special place in hell for the a**holes that created this crap!
