Well you can at your own risk exclude the website in the avastUI > Settings > Active Protection > Web Shield - click the sprocket icon (settings) > Exclusions and add it to the URLs to exclude.
But what is better is to have it investigated:
-
you can give the URL (changing the http to hXXp, so the link isn’t active) and malware name here and someone can investigate (this is the kind of information Bob was suggesting).
-
you can report it to avast for validation using this contact form:
http://www.avast.com/contact-form.php?loadStyles
This however, would have to be fairly clear that it is a false positive (sites can get hacked) otherwise the review may not change anything and why the investigation side is advised.
By doing steps 1 & 2 you are helping yourself and other avast users that might also be using that site.
