It isn’t blocking avastSvc.exe but blocking what it considers a malicious site.
The avastSvc.exe is in control of the Web Shield and that is acting as the local proxy to scan http traffic. So your browser has tried to access this site and that gets redirected through the web shield (avastSvc.exe) so that the traffic can be scanned.
So what site were you trying to reach ?
