I using avast! for almost 3 months and quite satisfied, i’m amazed with the speed of avast. Before that I use norton, kaspersky which makes my pc really slow.
Recently I visited the Indonesian website hxxp:\www.d60pc.com (quite popular site) this site about freeware and tutorial.
When I visited the site, network shiled detects hxxp:\www.d60pc.com as a malicious site, with norton or kaspersky, they not detect as malicious site
And i try pause the network shield, avast! showing popup like this

Both Norton & Kaspersky not found anything (tested with other PC)
After that I did a quick scan, but did not find any
Please the experts here can provide me some answer about that site is really dangerous or just false positive.
Generally, avast detection is accurate in these cases.
Isn’t it an encrypted/obfuscated script or iframe?
Wasn’t the site hacked?
Maybe you could contact its webmaster.
Please, edit the links to not-live ones (change http for hxxp, for instance or add spaces between the url).
Hope Kubecj could check if the site is clean and if it is a false positive.

avast! protects you from infections but if you insist on looking for warez or cracked software then your system will become infected.
