Thanks guys. I tried moving the file to http://www.alltechtalk.net/Yoga/Yoga_Patch.exe  and even tried zipping up the same file http://www.alltechtalk.net/Yoga/Yoga_Patch.zip.

As a zip, Avast allows the file to be downloaded and allows it to be runned after it is extracted. As an EXE (http://www.alltechtalk.net/Yoga/Yoga_Patch.exe), it still blocks the download.

My only problem is that the patch has an updater that even block the updater from downloading the file located at http://www.alltechtalk.net/Yoga/Yoga_Patch.exe

This is frustrating. I have submitted a several reports to Avast with no response yet.

There are plenty of .js files referenced by that web page from a number of other sites (View Source and search for ".js", for example).  Who knows where they lead?  They don't necessarily do the same things for everyone.
