It actually is a false positive with AVG. I have no idea why their system is complaining about very normal javascript routines..
Even their own linkscanner clears the pages it's Surf shield blocks (they should be using the same detection algorithim). You can try it online with any url the surf shield blocks: http://linkscanner.explabs.com/linkscanner/AVG/default.aspx
It will clear the page. And no other virus/online security software complains about the use of Google Maps (which is what is causing the false positive)
There is a formal complaint with AVG about this behaviour of their Surf Shield.
You can follow the progress here: http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=184333

I will try to get a screenshot of the page next time it happens. I recently updated my computer (have been lazy about downloading updates!) so it could be it won't happen again.

I have the Professional version of Avast (paid version and never have a problem. But I also run a malware (keeps me from buying Malinois-Ha HA) program and a Spyware all of the time with the antivirus.

Hi All,
AVG has finally answered and yes this is a false positive and they are going to fix the issue in the next update release of their product.
You can read it on the link Oli provided.
