The same thing happened to me a few months back.
What caused it was a weak FTP password on my end that allowed some scumbag to access my sever and insert a string of malicious java-script. Google noticed it before I did unfortunately.
Luckily I noticed it shortly after and though it took almost 2 weeks to fix it with the google gang and get the warning removed, the only other people who noticed are buddies and they let me know.
It shouldn't have taken that long to get google fixed up, but like an idiot I just removed the malicious code, didn't change my password, and asked google to take another look.
They did, and the code was back.
I removed the code again and since I've changed all of my passwords to alphanumeric strings of gibberish I haven't had any problems.
I would cut this guy some slack, it's very likely not something he did on purpose.
