This seems to me like your antivirus was just being a little extra cautious and that's a false positive. I suspect it flagged that link at least in part because it's an embed within an iframe, which people can use those things for phishing purposes, but doesn't mean that iframes are all phishing dangers. The link it flagged is just for the slide-in animation demonstration.

You should be able to add to exceptions and report the link as a false positive to whatever antivirus software you're using.
