Is there any way of finding out which page or thread that causes the alert? some muppet may have posted a link to or uploaded something dodgy somewhere. If I remember correctly, a couple of weeks ago some live links or attachments had to be deleted because of a similar type of problem.

No problems here and using Kaspersky(genuine)

EDIT: Must have jinxed it. Google chrome is calling this a malware site
