I am probably not the best person to answer your question, but ill give
accurate answers based on what i know and the little you have told me.
First, A URL would be helpful. Besides that there is the possibility that its
not a website problem at all, and that it is infact that the antivirus
software is messed up, thinking its a problem. That is very common.
Furthermore info on what kind of OS the website is hosted on would give a lot
of answers as to the probability of it being on the website itself.
