I use Firefox with Adblock Edge and Ghostry. I don't get a false warning from that site. I also don't see the adverts and other crap there. So my suggestion is to switch from Chrome to FF with the above mentioned add ons.

Ah... FireFox vs Chrome is more than enough, as I said above.

Adblock Plus (or forks ) is excellent advice on general principle, however, it doesn't really answer the malicious warning issue. Ghostery is actually quite useless in this regard, it is to prevent tracking, and while I myself use it, there aren't really a lot of user-noticeable changes.



In any event, the problem was solved.
