URL:Mal Curiosity

I was on google images and clicked on a wikipedia picture, but one of the small related thumbnails apparently contained a virus…? I got a threat blocked warning and i was very confused. I then surfed the web a bit more and never got a warning again. I then went back and found the website that avast detected and searched the name on google. I then got 3 warnings about the website because the website came up 3 times on the search list. Is avast supposed to show warnings for websites with detected malware?

Note: I never accessed the website, only the tiny thumbnail after i clicked on a different google image.

The detected website: 1851franchise (.com)

URL:Mal = means blacklisted URL or IP, and there are many reasons for a blacklisting, it does not have to be infected
