As of today/yesterday, I notice that joomladay.org.au and many other sites are now being flagged by my security software as 'Phishing' sites. This is extremely vexing

It turns out that the culprit is my Google Ads! Every ad that pops up is now 'phishing'.
see
pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/ads...g=21&u_nmime=103

I'm horrified!!

Can anyone help me out with how to avoid this? (Besides removing the ads)

Hmmn
they look inoccuous enough what is the security software that is flagging them as phishing? Is this problem happening to other users of the security software? Does Google have anything to say about the problem? Are the adverts being displayed differently lately or have the security software settings changed? I just tried clicking on the goofgle ads and the O'Reilly ad (pretty good discount by the way!)a and Firefox 3 doesn't make any security complaints
