Here is an article that explains how VigLink is used by a website to make money (these guys actually are talking about blogs, but it works the same):

It uses JavaScript (which I have blocked in my browsers, except for selective sites and services, which I allow to run).
I jump around between 4 different browsers and I have been getting a lot of "help" lately from Google Chrome, warning my that a site I'm going to is not "secure". I ignore them or switch to one of the other browsers for that site. Don't sweat over the "not secure" jazz. I'd call it a false positive.
