I was just looking in google sitemaps and for 2 out 9 of my sites it says this under 'index status' on the overview page -

This site may be distributing malware. Google users will see a warning page (http://www.google.com/interstitial?url=http://www.dymowholesale.co.uk/&hl=en) when they attempt to visit pages within this site. You can visit the Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for your site (http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://www.dymowholesale.co.uk/&hl=en) for detailed information about the problems we found. Help (http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=45432&hl=en)

Please review StopBadware.org's Security Tips for Websites (http://www.stopbadware.org/home/security) and make any necessary changes to your site. When you have cleaned your site, you can request a review, and we'll evaluate your site.

Rather unhelpfully the 'stopbadware.org' site is down so I have no idea what the problem is.

Could my sites have been hacked (they look ok to me), or could it be related to the current wave of 'this site may harm your pc' errors in google at the moment...?

probably caused by the same as the search problem that now seems to be fixed.
