The linked article has an update: "Update: ExtraTorrent says it successfully resolved the issue with Google through webmaster tools. RARBG is also unblocked."
It would be helpful if TorrentFreak would have mentioned what ExtraTorrent/RARBG had to do to resolve the issue. There's more to this... I, for one, am curious to know more.
Well... They did say "Malware". They do a ton of those, there is a staggering amount of that. About 10% of the web (by volume, not popularity) contains malware.
If it was legit, then actions were taken by machines.
The quick resolution makes me think there was no foul play involved.

Maybe the issue was legit, malware ad or something.
It could very well be legit. In these conspiratard days, even Google should provide a reason when they do such things, to ward off suspicion.
