well, avg, firefox and just about every other browser and malware software doesn't find anything.

It's a chrome issue.
I'll look into it - but best advice, don't use chrome

Given that there are no adverts on the site and not that many attachments in the slingers guide section. There isn't anywhere for the malware to be hiding.
Added to the fact that nobody else has had this issue - or at least if they have they've kept quiet about it - and round here that's unlikely Grin

Whatever it thinks it's picking up has to be an anomalous reading.

Do All things with Honour and Generosity: Regret Nothing, Envy None, Apologise Seldom and Bow your head to No One - works for me

I don't think there are any attachments in that thread. I wonder if Heartbleed affected slinging.org? chrome does wierd stuff, and I prefer chromium or Iron because of that.
