Infected site

What's the protocol if you find what you believe to be a legit site, but it is very obviously infected with some kind of malware?

Any way of reporting it? Assume I don't personally have any familiarity with the company in question...

    The site is infected so immediately that just going to the site makes you not want to go any further, let alone look for contact info!

    Oh dear... Noscript blocks it all, but looking at the page source isn't pretty.

    The website designer is supposedly:

    Masters At Design Ltd.

    15 Radley Mews
    London
    W8 6JP (Road Map)
    Tel: 020 73761888

    I'll take a look and see what Whois says...

    I ~thought~ as a trading company they had to provide more info than that, but perhaps the address is sufficient to keep it within the rules. Whatever, no obvious way to contact them quickly.

    I had prior warning so I'm reasonably happy nothing got its foot in the door... that said, I'd do a scan but I'm not able to download apps at present.

    If anyone is interested, the person who (I am fairly confident) got infected from it was apparently redirected to 'scanaoline.com' (partial address)

    It started throwing up (presumably) false warnings about a trojan.

    Windows Security Center
    Virus (I-Worm.Trojan.b) was found on your computer!
    Click 'OK' to install System Security Antivirus

    Usually I'd have expected a hit on google, but nothing this time.
