Same here, Google Chrome, Facebook, IE and a number of other sites. Just posted myself on this topic also. Avast free edition, latest updates.
What the hell???

This is likely to be as a result of an FP in a VPS update 110411-1, update to 110411-2 should resolve it.

See this Blog report on it, https://blog.avast.com/2011/04/11/false-positive-issue-with-virus-defs-110411-1/ (https://blog.avast.com/2011/04/11/false-positive-issue-with-virus-defs-110411-1/)

Please try a reboot of your system to solve the problem.
And please activate avast!
