I am trying every browser through various search engine responses with no issues. WHat I would need to rectify this issue is the report given to you by your virus software so I can tell my techs. Without this it is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Doesn't your scanshield give you a report on just WHAT it found?
Details are always helpful; narrow down the specific type of threat to look for: Malware, Trojan, virus signature, open re-direct link...etc.
The more info you can actually supply the quicker and more thoroughly the "threat" can be eliminated.

Also remember that, depending on the vendor, a lot of malware detection programs return false positive results.
The "wisdom" of erring on the side of caution.
Anytime you report something like this; the more details you can provide-the better.

I also get a virus alert from avast 7.0.1456 when trying to enter mattersofsize.
I got it when trying to enter from google search to the main forum page: www.mattersofsize.com/forum/
Used firefox.
Don't know if it is a virus or not. Using google chrome to write this post.
Here is the popup I got:
