Apologies if this question has already been asked, but whenever I try to visit the following website, I receive the URL Mal warning. Friends who have computers protected with other anti virus software such as AVG are not receiving this warning and say there is nothing wrong with the site and that Avast is over-reacting.
I just clicked on the link and got the red pop up, saying the site was malicious, clicked on more details and showed that I had just dodged a bullet. Did you read the details?
No alerts here: http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=318597
Some code hick-ups found up by Quttera’s heuristic scanner in the following 4 files.
This does not mean that these should be malicious per se, only have anomalities to make them stand out from the rest of the files there…

Thank you for your insight guys! I didn’t read the explanation offered by Avast regarding the nature of URL Mal, but will do so. I was simply puzzled that the issue wasn’t coming up in other anti virus software.
The information on that page is more generic and not very helpful if you are looking for a detailed analysis. That requires the use of other analysis tools.
Here you see now that the site has been migrated to another IP without the IDS alerts that were previous given for the former IP location: http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=317682
So I think the site has been cleansed, however the IP migrated to has instances of HTML:Script-inf malware for other domains there, which avast should detect because it has a very good reputation on detection of thes types of malware: https://www.virustotal.com/file/17650ad4d4808528ab176a6765aae1eb5ba3e73288d7885f984467c878240771/analysis/
Some malware from that IP is long overdue and has been on for more than 1042.3 hrs… JS/Agent.ebz, JS/iFrame.BO.1, JS/iFrame.czo, JS/iFrame.XA.1, HTML/Rce.Gen3 etc…
