I'll try to explain how this happens...

You have some advertising networks that have a domain, lets say advnet.com, which they use for tracking clicks and signups on a number of different advertiser offers.  Now let's say one of those 100 advertiser offers has their website hacked, and malware inserted.  Google and other antimalware providers will automatically decide that advnet.com is assisting in the distribution of malware.  So even though 99 times out of 100 an advnet.com tracking link leads you to a perfectly safe site, they are all blocked until the malware'd site is repaired.  This is why you get security warnings from time to time, and also why it's not a case of us deliberately trying to get your computers infected.

Believe me when I say that we have no interest in getting your PCs infected with malware.  One of the main things they do is hijack the affiliate links that allow you & us to get credited for your efforts/signups.  So we really have a strong motivation to ensure that you DON'T get malware.

I've had this alert come up before on the daily clicks with my Vipre Anti-virus and ever since the first alert and block I haven't had one since so it's not a big deal so as long as you have something blocking it.
