I have been getting the same thing
With out me doing the search, it was reported a couple of days ago and Connie said it had been found and removed. Also I think it was with firefox that the error was happening. Using IE and no error for me.

This error is caused by google scanning the sites, and finding the problems. To date google has not been wrong with their detection. Firefox uses google as their method of detection. IE does not use google or anyone else for detection. It will take a week or so for google to remove the attack message, even when it is fixed, yet they will only doit after another scan of the site. My other software that detects these problems, at first warned me about the site, before the block, now it is not warning me, so maybe it is fixed and safe now.

Firefox still doing it this morning. It takes a little while to filter down after the removal request is sent.

I saw a post from Connie that said they found the problem and fixed it. But, does that mean the we users may have some sort of virus or something that we need to deal with on our computers??
So, we have it reported on Firefox, IE and now with me, on Chrome. That's definitely not a good sign, but since the site hasn't been replaced by a warning page, it can't be anything catastrophic. Being in the computer industry for the past 20+ years, I would definitely appreciate some input on what it is, if we are still at risk (and if not, if we had been at risk previously) and anything you would recommend people to do on their own systems going forward. I would note that not everybody is going to have an extensive computer and/or security background, so some comment on this is definitely wanted.

I will answer your question. It is estimated that about 10% of all web site are hacked. Hacked meaning some milicious code is installed on them. Which ones are hacked changes on a daily basis. Websites need to secure their FTP, hosting software, and permissions to prevent these hacks. Even then new methods are developed everyday to find a way around security.
carvewright.com was one of these sites. I do not know what was installed on their site. It was some sort of redirection code, where virus/malware could be installed on your computer if you had no protection. Thus IE = no protection, no warning, just infection.
Now to remove anything that may have gotten into you computer. And I say MAY, for you do not know. Even if you are using firefox, google did not report the site for 14+ hours after the I first saw the warning with software I use. Thus even firefox was not secure at that time.
To remove and check your computer, download malwarebytes from malwarebytes.org. It is a free download, and cost $25 for the registered version. Download it, install it, and update it. Then run a full scan on your computer. When the scan is finished, tell it to remove everything it found. Your computer will thank you for doing this, for most of the time the computer runs faster after this clean up of malware.
