Avast blocking URL svchost.exe

Yes, I am living in Beijing.

It appears that all the main external sites… MBAM, Windows and a few others are being routed first through their server rather than going direct to the proper site.

The only way around that would be to use a proxy as I believe Avast is alerting on the fact that the routing to windows updates is being directed through another server

I have difficulties to understand how this could happen.
I moved in into a new place, and started to use a new ISP around Mid December.
However, the warnings came around mid February.

I have forwarded this to Avast for them to check out

Hello, i checked the IP and it appears to be one of the download proxy servers from www.datadragon.net.
Server on this IP no longer exists, but it served various .exe, .xap and .apk files in unconventional way including files like “install_flash_player.exe”
I am sorry for your trouble, it will be unblocked within a while.
