It seems that a site someone was posting an image from was causing the malware notifications. Please be aware of linking images from any sites you're not familiar with and arent safe.

 
you know, i've been thinking about it for years, but i can't stand when people use weird photo sites, like flikr, or whatever mostly for this reason. photobucket, imho, has been the tried and true safer site. i hate having to look at pics from these other sites, and always need to contend with those freaking annoying adware things leaching off the page and trying to do stuff when all i really want to do is see a stupid picture. and, that includes stupid links to pictures hosted on social networks like ficalbook, twatter, etc. i can deal with the ads on a photobucket link when someone uses the wrong link tag, even though it takes about 10 min to load the whole page at work, but i hate picking up bugs because someone is too lazy to learn how to properly post, or upload a picture from a decent place.

I agree and that is what caused the last malware issue. Linking in pictures from other non-reputable sites is really putting everyone on the site at risk of being infected, or effected in some way.
