It was cungar's post at 12:17 PM with the confessional animated gif. (carlmossbergdds.com is the host at fault.) I don't mod Other, so if there were any RTPTAM messages, I didn't get 'em, but I deleted the post, so things'll hopefully be fine now.

I did a quick google, and carlmossbergdds.com seems to be a legit site for a dentist, though google has a tag on it that says "This site may harm your computer."
Why would a site for a legit business, a healthcare professional no less, be hosting malware?
I've run into a few instances like this before; the last one was the website for a church that one of my cousins goes to. Luckily MSE caught the malware before it infected me.

...or it could be that nothing's wrong at all and Google's being insanely paranoid. I've run into cases where an ad provider was pushing out bad code, and sites referencing that ad provider were blocked even though they weren't doing anything at all.

Re: Malware?
No, this is the correct answer. I run an abuse desk, and Google's warnings are not wrong. The legitimate site was compromised, usually due to either unpatched application vulnerabilities or compromised FTP credentials, and the hackers use it to distribute their malware.
