Strange browser security issue when accessing a particular forum thread

When I access this thread - https://community.logos.com/forums/t/198584.aspx - Norton flags an intrusion attempt as below. I can access any other thread without any problem.

The details behind that are (shown in two screenshots as it doesn't all fit in a single window)

Does anyone have any idea what this means, why it only is triggered by accessing that particular thread, what - if anything - I ought to do about it?

Update: That thread has now gone onto three pages. Accessing the first or second page flags an issue but accessing the third does not!

Thanks, Graham

This is what I get, but I'm clueless. This is with Norton Security.

Maybe there's some malware or an unsafe/suspect ad embedded in the thread?

I did a Google search for mobiclean.xyz site:community.logos.com to see if there was a link to that site in that particular thread. It didn't find one, but it did show me that David Paul was having problems with mobiclean.xyz back in March:

I'm kind of afraid to go to the thread you're referring to, in case there is malware in it. I don't use Norton but AVG, which might miss it.

It could also be a Firefox extension you've installed, if you're using Firefox as your browser:

Thanks for reporting this. I found references to mobiclean.xyz inside one of the posts on that thread and removed them.

It looks like they were most likely injected from the browser that composed the post, and are not coming from within the forum software itself (i.e., there's no compromise of the forum software). I'll be following up with the user who posted it.
