The usual culprit is an image, usually an avatar or signature, but in an image-heavy thread it could basically be any one of the posts...

For any mod wondering by, the culprit is the middle image in This (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=13032824&postcount=158) post.

EDIT: At least, that's what Avast said it was.

Quoting the post shows that it's coming from disneycostumeideas.com, so the site probably got flagged overall because of some other issue (which we know from gitp experience, may or may not be a real threat, some of the malware watchdog sites have an itchy trigger finger), but the image itself coming through here shouldn't be a danger.
