Same exact thing for me also. I'm being risky according to Malwarebytes Browser Guard for even coming here.

Thanks guys. Sending this onto my security folks.

Weird. Has to be coming from a bad ad I would assume as our scans have not indicated anything.
Public RBLs often monitor redirects from advertising and sites regularly use the RBLs to warn the public. Your site admin will need to A. remove the offending ad and B. solicit a retraction from the RBL.

It probably just saw Surly's bold purple font and assumed it was malware activity.
