It MAY be that McAfee just doesn't like the auto-redirect that viglink uses. It may also be the site that viglink was auto-redirecting you to. The first line from its Wikipedia page:
"VigLink is a San Francisco-based, outbound-traffic monetization service for publishers, forums, and bloggers, which specializes in in-text advertising and marketing."
It's possible that one of the advertisers Viglink was redirecting you to could be iffy (though I've seen some false alarms too). Unfortunately the picture you posted doesn't show the whole URL so we can't see which advertiser it was.

Sounds like a false positive, which happens from time to time.
The Viglink Support is actually built into vbulletin now. And since most every forum I know uses Viglink you would be seeing that alert on almost every forum you go to.

Yeah, I'm not having any issues this morning so I agree it was either a false alarm or it got fixed on their end.
