Is there an online service that can tell me if the file at a given URL is malicious?

I'm publishing URLs in my website, and would like to warn users which URLs could contain malware. I'd like to request a report with an HTTP request like:

http://www.somemalwareadvisor.com/canitrust?url=...

Thanks!

This seems like a cool project that you might be able to hook into: linky

You might be able to pull some data from WOT:

Google chrome uses this as a pre-filter before going to a new site. It's very detailed, I love this thing. It's probably saved millions of people from drive-by-downloads and XXS.
