JDK 8u101x64 - FileRepMalware

I tried download the latest version of java jdk (by Google Chrome) but after download I got a warning from Avast:
"Threat blocked - FileRepMalware".
What's wrong? Is it false positive? Do you have the same message?
Basic info:
Windows 10 Home + all updates
Avast Free Antivirus 12.1.2272
JDK link -

There is nothing wrong and it is not a false positive.
avast just says that the file is not downloaded by many avast users.
avast will not alert anymore when more users have downloaded that file.
