What anti virus/security program are you using? Also what version of windows and Internet Explorer are you running? Depending on the set up you use, it may not actually be the website you are viewing but one that isnt even shown in your browsr window because it was blocked. It could also be one of the advertised links that have caused the alerts, I would check your security programs help pages etc.

Sometimes some programs will show false positives there are many causes for this.

Other times you could be infected by malware and its a warning that will flash up a few times then ask if you want to download an anti phishing program.

If it isnt repeated again and you are sure you have decent security on your machine, I would just put it down as a false positive, it happens,
