Website blocked - We cannot figure out the problem - Killing our business
Please help. We had to post here because we are not getting any help anywhere. Someone please help us.
We were selling ad inventory to OpenX ad exchange. One of their advertisers was distributing malicious code. We caught the issue and disabled them as an ad network and the malicious ad stopped appearing. Then a couple of days later, Google/Stopbadware.org had us blocked. We followed every single procedure to report we have removed the threat. Every single day for almost a week now, we file a report, it gets denied and no one (we have even posted on the stopbadware.org) can tell us what the problem is and we have scanned our site as well and cannot find any threat. Yet, Google still will not unflag our site. You can see the latest Diagnostic report below which itself shows there has never been any detection and only 1 complaint in the past.
This is killing our business because a majority of our users use the firefox browser.
We have tried to contact Google directly, they basically told us to go to hell and use email.
We are a very small company and don't know what to do and could really, really use help our business is really dying.
Any advice, suggestion, anything would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

We have done this already each day.
Below is a full outline of the steps we have done.
1. Our site was reported as a possible attack site. We believe this was due to the OpenX Ad Exchange network circulating several ads through its network and partners that contained malicious code. We detected these malicious ads. We identified the issue and removed them from our site immediately upon detection. Shortly after our removal, our site, "blackbook2.com" was included in the Google blacklist for attack sites and distributed to Google partners as well as directly affecting visitors that use the Mozilla browser.
2. We have followed instructions to have our site removed from your malware list as specified in your Google Webmaster tools both on 10/20/2010, 10/21/2010, 10/22/2010, 10/23/2010, 10/24/2010.
3. We requested review on your partner StopBadware.org of our site as well on 10/20/2010 as well as requested help from the StopBadware.org community, of which, no one can point to a specific instance where we are causing any problem.
4. Webmaster tools indicated that there was only 1 report and that Google itself has not detected any malware each time it has attempted to scan our site to confirm infection.
5. We have scanned and manually checked for any changes in files, new files, redirections, etc.
6. We have checked Google Webmaster tools for any possible links to files we may have missed that may be causing issues, none were found, we checked EVERY SINGLE LINK.
