I run a website at: hxtp://fadw.net, the IP [74.91.117.204] has some bad history, but it's not hosting malware anymore, the history is what seems to be causing the false positives.

I didn't see a forum board for false positives, so I'm posting it here, moderators move this to a more appropriate place please if applicable.

Most likely an IP block. Nothing suspicious about your site. Very neat and organized code as well.

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!
