hosts-file.net/emd.txt - false positive as JS:Downloader-CQY [Trj]

Avast reports the website http://hosts-file.net/emd.txt as JS:Downloader-CQY [Trj]. I am very sure this is a false positive, its a trusted website (powered by Malwarebytes) to download host files that help protect your system from ads, tracking and malicious websites.

Can this be fixed?
