I only came across this when trying to view this topic - it was triggered by your avatar, which I have now removed as a result.

I had such avatar as well, and adelikat told me that it caused this warning. It is because of avatar's hosting.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

i got a malware warning from imageshack once (though not from just viewing an avatar on a different site). strange because it's the like the most famous image hosting place. we should really fix our global economic system so that people don't need to resort to destroying things just to get money.

... How would an avatar do this? I don't get it. And why would an avatar be hosted on ilechoo? I checked earlier and it just seems to be a boring forum.

Chrome uses a domain blacklist that causes this warning to pop up whenever you're downloading data from a domain on the list. So even just an image is enough to trigger the warning (and justifiably so, I might add).
