Avast terminating connection to ebscohost

Today I suddenly started having a problem with Avast flagging the pdf area of ebscohost as being infected. This is an issue because I’m a student and I need to be able to read articles in ebscohost, there is no other option for accessing these articles. It’s saying that it’s infected with URL:Mal.

Any idea why this has suddenly started happening? Is it an issue with Avast or is it a problem with ebscohost? I have a final paper due this weekend and I can’t do any research for it because of this problem so any suggestions are welcome.

Test the URL at VT (https://www.virustotal.com) and post the link to the result here.
