Since a couple of years, google redirects you when you click on a hit URL via google.com/something (you only notice this on a slow connection like an EDGE/2G network).

It might very well be that the malware scanner picked up a link to such a "redirector" which leads to malware and then took the TLD google.com for malicious.

Another reason why one should never ever host user-generated files (or links/redirects) on the primary domain. Github did this with github.io for the same reason.
