Default Lick's Cycles Malware?

I just noticed when trying to access the Lick's homepage on Google Chrome an error message that malware has been detected. It seems to be fine on IE7. Anyone else having this problem? I'm a little concerned about spending money here if they are having a security problem . . .

I am a big fan of Lick's by the way.

Did you contact them and tell them? They might be a 100% innocent bystander....

Yes, I'm getting a similar warning when accessing the Licks site with Firefox 13.

It sounds like your virus protection is working.

In case anyone else doesn't have it, Microsoft Security Essentials is a free anti-virus program. Malwarebytes is a good malware program that is also free.

Actually this is not an alert generated by anti-virus on a local machine. This alert means that Google identified something malicious when they were indexing the site. They are trying to protect people that use their browser by notifying them.

In most cases the website is also a victim and it may take a little while for them to clean it up. It looks like it has been handled in this case.
