Google "unusual traffic" notification after visiting deviantart.com

So this may be total coincedence, but when I’ve last visited deviantart.com twice in two months, whenever I’ve used Google search soon after that I’ve got Google’s “unusual traffic” notification after doing maybe couple of searches. Though Google itself says it can just be me osing the search engine too much, it feels a bit weird that I’ve never had it before in my life and only now after two latest visits on Deviantart, where I’ve only gone to check my own profile without browsing the site itself.

The site itself seems to have at least one detection on VT right now.

But only one flagging, so FP prone. The malware entry is cached and may not reflect the current status of the domain.

Apparenty those are files uploaded and shared by user of the site

Hi Pernaman,

I gave you the scan results as I found them, and only one av that flags means it is more FP prone.
That is all I can do for you. Maybe even those results aren’t actual any longer,
and whatever was there has now been cleansed.
