It's almost certainly somebody's avatar or an image in their sig hosted at that location.

All those avatars repeat on the following pages though, and none of them trip the av warning, just the first page.

It can also be an image embedded in a post. Sometimes a link in a post or signature too.

I'm getting this too, but on this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?513299-My-Little-Pony-XCVI-Long-Live-the-King/page22) page. Not to point fingers, but I'm suspecting it's Rater202's sig, since he seems to be the only common user.

My virus scanner seems to have a 5 minute 'cooldown' for how often the notice pops up.
