Which browser are you using? I remember a while back I had a similar sort of problem with my website, but only when using Internet Explorer (it appeared fine in Chrome and Firefox).
What is the domain? I can take a look at it and see whether I can spot anything that might be the cause (the source of my problem was secure hosting with embedded content from a non-secure domain).

This is the URL: www.hillcraft.co.za
Yeah, it's getting flagged as malicious in both Chrome and Firefox. I can only think of two possibilities: Google isn't happy with the domain re-directing to a Facebook page, or your site uses plugins that have been flagged as malicious.

The site started giving problems a while back. I then put a redirect in so as to bypass the site. I took the redirect off earlier this evening. I suppose that the removal of the redirect will come into effect tomorrow or so.
I had a redirect initially to force the site to jump from www.hillcraft.co.za to www.hillcraft.co.za/cms and this eventually became problematic. I just tried to go to the /cms site and that is ok. It looks to me that the redirect itself is what triggers the issue. it could be that whatever is evaluating the site for malicious software doesn't like an immediate redirect. I can't say that I know to make the site start up in the /cms directory in the first place (maybe that would resolve the issue)
Contact your hosting company. They should provide support.
Yes, firstly contact your hosting company and ask them to check your server for any possible malware. You can, after you have done that, contact Google and ask them for a malware review - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/168328
They take around 1-2 days, but if they re-scanned your server and found no malware, they will remove the alert from Chrome.
Hi adrianh, here is something you can read that might help. I haven't seen your site yet so I can't tell, but do you use any iframes or javascript that pulls info from other sites?
I don't get it, the site blocks up using everyone of my browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, etc.) but when I click the "Why am i getting this message" button, the following appears. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see anything wrong in this report, at least not within the last 90-days?
