I think it might be the banner from some "unsafe" web sites. Not sure if it can do any harm to your computer really..
I think the BBs could answer better.

This type of thing has sprung up in the past as well, after a change in advertising (which didn't last long, IIRC).

Hope that's all it is, and can be taken care of swiftly.

I'm now updated to the latest version of Chrome, and it's still happening:

What I've noticed is that it only seems to be happening in the forums. I don't know if that is relevant or not. For instance, here's the link I clicked that gave me the malware message: (http://www2.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?th...)

Hi!
Here is the answer by BBs:
Users host their images (logos) on various servers, some of them can be marked as potentially dangerous. You can easily see which ones are the problem and contact the users about it (so they would use another server), but we can't build a filter for the sites since we don't know which sites are marked as potentially dangerous.

So I think thay some american guy causes the problem ;)
If you find who - send him the message asking to change the server of his logo.

Cool. Done.

You can probably close this now.
