Hi...

If you go to "Tools" and then "Options" and click on "Security," it's the middle checkbox in the upper half of the window, "Tell me if the site I'm visiting is a suspected attack site." :)

Best Regards...

Hacked web sites often try to divert you to a malicious site. This may be what happened.

Infected systems could do this also.

This is true.

DrWeb/LinkScanner report the web site as fine, so check for malware on the computer which may be trying to divert to a malicious site, as YoKenny mentioned.

Here's a choice of free scanners:

Ad-Aware Free
Spybot Search & Destroy
SUPERAntiSpyware Free
a-Squared Free
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Another possibility is that this site links to something unpleasant. It does link to 2 "unidentified" sites, although Siteadvisor says it's OK.
