I went to the Shoney’s website and i avast popped up saying it had blocked something on the website. I am wondering is this a False Positive?

Thanks, Pondus, now we have official confirmation.
Nice to have the final word from VT.

So is it a false positive?
It only states that a known way of redirecting has been found, not that it is a false positive per se.
On one detection shared by Avast and GData you could easily come to such a conclusion, but I will only confirm that,
when Avast Team states it is a FP indeed. I reckon it is blackhat SEO Spam related and could be considered at least suspicious and maybe also malicious, depending on what your criteria for detection are. Moreover I get now a
Server Redirect / StatusCode: 0,

Message from F-Secure lab confirms avast is correct … and the Sucuri scan in my first post
The file you sent was found to be malicious.
We will be detecting the sample you submitted as Trojan.HTML.Agent.MB in the next database update.

confirms that said Polonus
I got a reply from Shoney’s on facebook. They told me they are looking into the issue. I even provided them a screenshot of the avast alert popup.
You may give them link to this topic
I told them a link to this topic and then they just replied telling me “The issue should be resolved” and thanking me for bring it to their attention
Seems it is no longer being blocked by Avast.
Cannot see that offending code there anymore.
