StargateRecords, what antivirus are you using that is reporting this warning?
Kaspersky 2012 on Windows 7 Professional, running Firefox with no extensions (Java, Flash etc all up to date).

StargateRecords, what "Google Diagnostic" Are you referring to? Head-fi's "safe browsing diagnostic" is clean.
The first time I had this warning was just before Christmas, at that time Kaspersky reported that malicious software was attempting to download onto my system, but was blocked by Kaspersky. I ran Google Diagnostics and there was a report of "suspicious content", not located on Head-Fi but located on an intermediary domain:
"
1 domain(s) appear to be functioning as intermediaries for distributing malware to visitors of this site."
Kaspersky identifies this intermediary domain as follows:
The Google Diagnostics advisory is still in place for the time period just before Christmas, confirming that 3 pages resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent during the past 90 days, but the current status of the site is safe:
Despite this Kaspersky has reported the exact same warning of malicious software attempting to download. This time I looked up the location of the files containing the suspected malware and Kaspersky returned this information:
Suspicious File Locations:
HeadFi_728x90_Technorati.html
HeadFi_300x250_Technorati.html

I have looked at the False Positive you linked to but I am getting a different warning message, which refers specifically to malicious software attempting to download and then consequently being blocked by Kaspersky. I will attempt to capture the message for you if it appears again. It's not a big deal for me as (a) Kaspersky is blocking whatever it is, and (b) I can login via Debian if needs be. Just thought I would pass on the report. Hope that helps.
