I had the same problem but this morning it has cleared fully, Didnt even get to my antivirus. It appears that Google sweeps sites and found 'something' on PW's server. It then seems to quarantine for a couple of days and then if no further indications, warnings are abandoned. Whatever, I'm back on and happy.

Seems to be okay now, nothing coming from Sophos! Reading the article as far as I can tell it is a HMTL based exploit designed to allow an attacker to inject code in to a users machine, probably to get a reverse shell.

I guess they ran a virus scan on the webserver! But if you didn't get any further warnings of other exploits or kits you are probably fine.
