Certain Pages on Boards.ie Triggering Alert on Antivirus

Hope this is the right place to post this, but for some reason when I look at certain threads on the site, my antivirus software is throwing up this warning: Oddly enough, it only seems to be in the Mod forums that I've noticed it, mostly in this thread http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057317106&page=56…

I've tried clearing cache/cookies etc, and I've run a scan with the anti virus software but it's not detecting anything on my computer.

I tried googling that peoplehouse thing that it mentions and it throws up the same threat, so I didn't want to dig any further than that.

It was a linked image hosted on that site that triggered the warning. Very likely a false positive, but I've removed it anyway...
