Avast is notifying that destructoid.com is infected with Script-inf. They claim that it is a false positive. Any insight as to whether or not it is a valid notification?
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).

The vast majority of malware today is distributed over the web, mostly by means of hacked (otherwise legitimate) sites. The attacker usually injects malicious some scripts into some (or all) pages on the site, waiting for an unsuspecting user to visit the site and possible infect his/her machine.And this is where avast’s detection capabilities really excel. Its abilities to detect these web-based malicious scripts are second to none, and thanks to the Web Shield and Script Blocking providers, they are used exactly when needed, doing an excellent job stopping the web-based malware right on the entry point.

Yes, a big difference from my first visit with six alerts on the home page, as packed script files being loaded.
So it looks like the webmaster found what wasn’t there.
