Avast detected avast servers as MAL while updating !

[system]

Good morning.
Today, the first thing Avast! did was, as always, to update itself(no programs were launched yet - I just booted 30 seconds ago).
But this time a notification opened and told me that " http://download117.avast.com/ " was a dangerous site. :o
Here is the page I get:
http://www.avast.com/fr-fr/lp-security-information-fp2?p_ext=0&utm_campaign=Virus_alert&utm_source=prg_fav_60_0&utm_medium=prg_systray&utm_content=.%2Ffa%2Ffr-fr%2Fvirus-alert-challenger2&p_vir=al&p_prc=file://C:\Program%20Files\AVAST%20Software\Avast\setup\avast.setup&p_obj=http://download117.avast.com/iavs5x/servers.def.vpx&p_var=.%2Ffa%2Ffr-fr%2Fvirus-alert-default2&p_pro=0&p_vep=6&p_ves=0&p_lqa=0&p_lsu=24&p_lst=0&p_lex=355&p_lng=fr&p_lid=fr-fr&p_elm=7&p_vbd=1367

Now there isn’t more problems (Avast! managed somehow to fix that). But I thought I should warn you about this.

Here’s the statement of Vlk:

This is indeed a FP and it was already fixed in the latest defs.

FYI, It was an IP address block (as opposed to a domain name block); the reason for it was that the same IP address was obviously used for some malicious purposes in the past (before it got allocated by the hosting provider to our server).

Pretty interesting, sort of like you buy a house and then a bunch of thugs knock on your door because the previous owner owed them some money.
