I think Sophos is flagging a lot of sites as a virus. My website (from PCG Tools) does the same while nobody (after aroun 7,000 views) ever had any problem.
Actually, on their website is a very obscure way that decides if it will be reported as a virus or not. When a website is visited not much (which I doubt Korg Forums fall under this category) it will be reported, just be default. If enough people actively notify Sophos that it is virus free, it is removed.
I think this is the other way around.... so what I can say: Sophos gives almost any site a false positive by default.
If I were you I would suggest getting a decent virus application.

Sorry, but we have no control over silly software that gives false positives.
Sophos need to sort out their own mess.

I don't blame you ... never got a virus from KorgForums (no malware, no virus in download section etc). Neither PCG Tools (website/downloads).
So something must indeed be very messy with Sophos.
