GET Request with Firefox 17.0.1 returns a benign 0/46 here: https://www.virustotal.com/file/147683625bd70ea7029186e4b71a622c8e4f851fd2a3941dd115a2bdddd91259/analysis/1357254590/

Installed DoNotTrackMe on Chrome as Jonny788 suggested, the warning somehow stopped for particular reason. Tested multiple times and it seems to be the perfect solution for now.
It is only natural that "DoNotTrackMe" will prevent the alert, as "Real User Monitoring" is a form of tracking.

could you attach a screenshot of the avast warning popup...



More Details

I should have mentioned, the following additional details:-

I am using:

Google Chrome   23.0.1271.97 (Official Build 171054) m
OS   Windows
WebKit   537.11 (@136278)
JavaScript   V8 3.13.7.5

Avast 7.0.1474
virus definitions 130103-1

...

As micahwedemeyer has pointed out, its part of the newrelic api for performance monitoring a website.  Hence why its popping up on numerous unrelated websites I guess.

I could access the JS code directly via https variant of the URI and avast does not alert, but accessing the http variant it does, which is a bit odd.  Also it doesn't matter which version? (the /42/ part of the URI) I access, I can change it to a different number, and for the http version avast will alert, for the https version it wont.  The code is identical in both cases.

I updated my AdBlock list on both Chrome & Firefox and it stopped happening if I use Chrome but it still pops up with the warning if I use Firefox on http://www.captureminnesota.com/.

Frustrating that no one from Avast is addressing this formally... I don't want to make it stop for MY computer, I want it to stop for any of my visitors that come and get this seemingly bogus warning!!

Well, I'm going to uninstall Avast on my laptop and try another anti-virus program for now. 

Maybe someone at Avast will take notice of this and extend the courtesy of an update.    >:(

If you google the URL avast is blocking there are now loads of references to it. I am still getting the pop up  >:(

Can't believe Avast haven't been on here to let us know whats going on. If they don't do something soon i am going to uninstall Avast and install a different anti-virus.

I updated the fanboy list on adblock plus and its not appearing on the daily mail website. I'm surprised this hasnt been corrected in the latest avast update.

Also because its not a virus is it safe to just ignore the warning, until the situation is cleared up?

I emailed Avast about this yesterday & got this response just now:

"Thank you for contacting AVAST Software company with your concerns. My name is Michal and I will assist you today. Sorry for late reply.

I was able to browse the site without any warning being displayed, having avast! set to most sensitive level. Therefore I assume the false alarm was already fixed. Please update your virus database and check if the problem persists."

Since I downloaded Do Not Track Me for Chrome, the warning wasn't happening to me anymore while using Chrome.  I did check http://www.captureminnesota.com/ (the site I was getting the warning on) with Firefox & Avast did not give me the pop-up warning this morning.

I installed DoNotTrackMe as well for chrome and IE, the alarm hasn't been poped up since the installation, DoNotTrackMe is the way to go before any official update i guess.
