Today I updated my avast’s virus definition, then I opened a slack team page from firefox and I got this malware warning:
https://slack.global.ssl.fastly.net/64b5/js/rollup-core_required_libs.js|{gzip}
Is it possible this is false alarm?
I can’t access slack chat page from browser because of this. It keeps showing loading screen. Of course if I turn off avast shield, I can access the slack page again.

Next time, use Viruses and worms forum section for reporting virus and false positive problems
seems there is a redirect link in a compressed java script…
will try to get some attention to your post from avast team

To immediately solve the issue, please add URL https://slack.global.ssl.fastly.net/773e/js/rollup-core_required_libs.js to WebShield exclusions in Avast settings (Settings > Active Protection > Web Shield (Customize) > Exclusions > URLs to exclude list).
In a hour or so, the issue will be resolved via the next virus definition update as Sirmer wrote above.
Thanks.
