    Don't worry- that's just Google Chrome being overcautious.

    You can do two things
    1. Check all the widgets for the link "http://www.theforgotten.us"

    2. Twitter could be contained in that not downing it or anything but its happend a few times

    3. Delete all widgets, your choice.
