It's not the 'temp. According to the screenie you posted it's somewhere called 'Fileden'. I suspect someone is storing/linking to an image or file of some sort there and that particular site has been flagged as harmful. As it sounds like an upload site, (Fileden) someone uploaded a virus and everyone storing files with them has to suffer.

Something similar happened to me with Dropbox...
 
someone must be hosting their signature on this website.
i'll check out the topic you indirectly showed us (url on the screenshot) and remove the sig

edit: fixed
 
It is entirely possible there is a piece of adware that has injected the offending content into the page, VIA tracking cookie.
Normal ads do that, so it is not beyond the realm of possibility, that you have a bad cookie in your system somewhere.
If you get the same flag again, please post again, or drop me a message.
 
It seems to be only happening with that topic ive just randomly opened topics and some topics with large amouts of pictures and nothing is wrong its just that certain topic
 
Ah, that was the hosting site I used. My bad they where ok before

Thanks for the heads up Costello and sorry for the inconvenience to everyone my Sig affected.
 
I host my shadow radio programs on there and link to them in my sig, could that possibly be it? i mean, it's a direct link to the file.
