Taiwanfeed.com site compromised?

I just tried going to the Taiwanfeed.com website. I got a warning from Google and the "Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page" for Taiwanfeed says,

What is the current listing status for taiwanfeed.com?

Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this web site may harm your computer.

Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 1 time(s) over the past 90 days.

Over the past 90 days, taiwanfeed.com did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.

No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

How did this happen?

In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.

My antivirus program also told me that the site was trying to download a Trojan Horse program called "HTML:IFrame-GG [Trj]".

Has anyone else experienced this?
