Google uses a set of private scanners that we've built so I'm not able to share the technology publicly. Unfortunately, part of the success of the system relies on its obscurity - I'm sure the bad guys read these forums too. Those tools usually let a human see pretty quickly where the problem is. But converting that into automatic diagnosis of the problem in a fully automated way is tough - there's still lots of stuff that's easy for a human but hard for a computer. The scanners really only see the end result and don't necessarily know where the problem came from.
So, unfortunately, there's still work that webmasters need to do to figure out the problems. The diagnostic page (http://www.google.com/ safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=<site-name-here>) can often provide useful information. Search your server for the names of sites listed on that page usually turns up the problem. Glad to hear that you've got things cleaned up, O.
