[Techtalk] Ad servers that aren't malware bait?

hey all,

Anyone out there have some good insight on which ad servers don't suck?
Twice in one year the company I work for has been bitten by iSocket--
both times Google flagged them for malware, which got us blacklisted by
Google for over a day. Both times it was a false alarm. (Yes really,
and Google even said so.) 

Is this typical of ad server companies, is getting false alarmed and
whammed by Google just life on the Google-controlled Internet? I'm not
comfortable with iSocket's ad code in any case, because it opens an
unrestricted portal to their servers. That calls for a little more
trust than I am comfortable with. I'm also annoyed with their
hand-wringing helplessness-- they make stout promises of doing
everything they can, which is nothing.  Is Google a black box, or are
there ad server companies who talk to humans inside Google? 

thanks for any feedback and wisdoms.

Carla
