I'm Google's public liaison for Search, and I communicate on this stuff all the time. Typically I'm most active on Twitter. You can always ping me here: https://twitter.com/searchliaison

I'm looking into the thread deletion, but I believe anyone who starts their own thread can delete it. That aside, as I shared elsewhere here, this is spam, not malware. We appreciate the reports and apologize our spam systems weren't doing a better job. We're working to improve that now.
