It's a wowhead link, or at least is is now. If that's infected, that's a big problem. Just sayin'.

Um... Why was this post downrated? Guy reports that his virus detector found a problem with the page. So ... what? You downrate his post rather than investigate? Don't even ask which virus detector or anything?

The page has a facebook link, as well as using javascript from not merely wowhead, but googleapis.com, quantserve.com, googleadservices.com, google-analytics.com, and google.com. While google is good at removing ads that have malware embedded in them, that doesn't make them perfect. And browsers that are promiscuous in their javascript habits can be affected. Without knowing more details, there's not a lot we can do. Likely, it was something in an ad that wowhead served you for that page.

I can definitely recommend using NoScript, Ad-block Plus, or even malware detecting addons that come with some AV software like the OP here.
