and from there I followed up their further link suggestions.

1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_News_%28Adelaide%29

2) one labelled "Tumby Bay "

My question is about what happened when I clicked on the one labelled " Tumby Bay".

The website is tumbybay.com and avira went mad warning of some virus or malware.
I had no way of knowing if it was a false positive or not, just clicked on "I amnot going there" and left a message on the above page asking THEM to check it out.

Is there a procedure I could have followed without being at risk of nasties or is it just as well to steer clear.

This is google's explanation about the warning page that appears in Chrome http://google.com/safebrowsing/diagn...ermanager.com/

Avira was correct to bring up a warning. I use Chrome and Chrome brings up the warning page before antivirus picked it up.
