just because you dont see a problem, that does not mean it doesn't exist. keep an open mind.

Well technically it isn't a detection on Amazon as your screenshot indicates it is a sub-domain the bit in front of .cloudfront.net URL, however could be a 3rd party link from where you are in amazon.

Nothing to stop you reporting it at:
Reporting a Possible False Positive File or Website - https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php.
You should get a response in a day or two.

I just wonder if avast doesn't like that metadata.jsonp? script being run, hopefully you will get a prompt response.
