I'm on facebook, chatting people.. and all of a sudden the screen goes red and says WARNING, THIS IS A SUSPECTED PHISHING SITE.. and it lists some random site. That I did not click on.
I refresh the page/open a new facebook window/tab or whatever, and it keeps happening.
It happens like every thirty seconds.
I need help.

Is it a Windows Explorer error?
Sounds like adware to me.

What browser are you using? The phishing filter in IE can be picky.
Do you have an Antivirus program that monitors internet activity (if you don't know say what kind you have, might be able to check myself)?

A lot of times, these tricky spyware infections can bring up windows that imitate antivirus warnings. When you click, it usually makes them worse.
I'd suggest running a scan. You would definitely be able to recognize it as a legit find if you have some antivirus on your machine. It would be obvious.

I'm using google chrome..
And I'm not sure if it monitors internet activity but I have AVG Anti-Virus something or other.

And static.ak.fbcdn.net is the "suspected phishing site" that the warning keeps referring to.

I know with Firefox, AVG tries to install some add-on, but not sure if it even works with Chrome.
Or it could have been AVG. You can temporarily close AVG (right click icon in the far right bottom to close), just make sure to open after done testing. When it is closed you can try getting the message again. If there are no messages the problem is from Chrome. Then make sure AVG is turned on again.
