This is most likely down to one of the adverts that is showing. I've paused the ad network I'm trialling and I'll contact them about this alert.
If you ever see anything like this please report it to me ASAP. Please let me know if the alert has stopped happening.

The network have tracked down and removed the rogue advertiser. I've restarted the ads on site.
If you see anything else suspicious please let me know. PM me, I'll get the email and can check it out straight away.

Obviously can't have this happening, so anything else and I'll remove them permanently.

OK, I've paused the network again and I'll get them to investigate properly.
Sorry once again.

I just realized I had a program on my computer that attempts to download malware. I removed it and it seems the problem is solved.

Thanks for letting me know. Please report anything suspicious in the future and I'll take a look straight away.
I will not allow an advertising network to run on the site that causes problems for visitors.
