Don't go back to that web site, Web Shield has protected you :)

Sites that were previously clear is no guarantee they won't be clean in the future.  Sites can and do get hacked/infected.  Who told you they were clean ?

From your image the site is trying to run a randomly name javascript .js file which at the very least is somewhat strange.

What I really don't get is effectively an ad to purchase another avast product, which I would say is of limited benefit, given that the version of avast has already protected you.
