From my side I've checked out whatever I can and have no reports.

Not being a "tekkie" on these things I'm not sure what needs to be done.

I did some scans on my laptop with nothing out of place but I guess that doesn't check
anything uploaded to the forum.

Have you scanned your computer?
Maybe you have a cookie or something left behind from a link that's triggering the warning?

Why not just check out / clean / remove cookies etc from your computer and see if anything changes.

You're getting a false positive from somewhere as it's virus free:

Seems okay now. I haven't altered anything here at home - have been at work all day. So I assume it was the Filipino UK end. It was just that solitary thread and nothing else. I just reported it before I left for work this morning. Had a quick look at work (on a different laptop) and here I am now at home. Problem fixed while I was at work evidently.

All's well that ends well...
