    I was getting the same thing with Avax late yesterday and early today. The poster above that said it has to do with the browswer and/or firewall of the person seeing that warning was wrong. It's based on a database that Google keeps of reported malware or virus problems on websites. Generally it's caused by some malware or virus an advertiser slips into an ad that the site admins are unaware of. Once the site owner kicks off the offending advertiser, the Google warning gets taken down. The process generally takes a few days. Something similar happened with Audioz maybe about 2 years ago, I think it was.

    Anyway, it will probably get cleared up soon.

    Anyways you should always be careful with warez sites (you never know what they try on the side) and make sure your browser isn't vulnerable (there are often large security holes within Java or Javascript for example). I've seen some virus locked computers lately where users where asked to pay ransom for unlocking... ;)

    I've had it redirecting me for about 2 months a long with some more sites doing the same and they have all been warez sites as well.
    Avast blocks it and when I reload the page its ok

    Kookaboo just click on "ignore this warning" and a couple of subsequent buttons and you'll be back into Avax. I get this from time to time and its nothing to worry about

    I've been an avaxhome user for years and no single trouble up to now.
    I also got the same message as you. Just ignore it...

    Cheers, mate!
