Have you recently adjusted your antivirus software settings, amabel? Sometimes, if your firewall/security settings are too high they can become sensitive to content, particularly external links sitting across the site (although that only usually happens if you click on a questionable link).   

When are you getting the alert? - are you sitting on a particular page on the site?

It might be coming from one of the banner advertisements on the site too. I haven't gotten any warnings myself, but any additional information you can provide about your situation is appreciated.

I've sorted It out now.  But I thin htat it did come from one of the ads on this site.

That was my gut feeling. Sometimes I get error messages due to ads but they are few and far between.
