If any of you are still encountering this Chrome/Firefox error, it would be helpful if you followed up here, and listed the site mentioned in the error message. For example, in the case of Chrome you can see the site right after "Content from..." in the error message shown above.

I use chrome. Yesterday it was a web site with "google" in the name. I did not write it down so I don't know the full name. For the last few hours today chrome said this site had been infected by www.openxadvertising.org.

I too use Chrome and had flushed all browser caches / cookies and yesterday got the exact same error that Rob reports above.

OK, I believe I may have gotten the virus from this site.

Can someone please tell me the best way of getting rid of it.

Apple- macbook pro running firefox and safari.

Apple computers are not subject to getting any Windows 'virus'. The virius' that can infect Windows have zero effect on a Mac OS. Macs can get 'malware' but you would have been prompted to enter your administrator or system password. If you did not do that, you most likely DO NOT have malware installed.
