avast is blocking my website: url:mal

Hi, all.
I'm the one running the website
https://kalamazooacs.org
. According one of our users, Avast blocks our website. I tried some of the "site checking" websites linked on similar posts on this forum and none of them return anything useful:
http://zulu.zscaler.com/submission/show/2bde56ae5361b4a945db3fd7771cba8c-1480648097
https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/15bfca75b08d7760be93739806311b6c7c6724b40b3082317132f335b7322a02/analysis/1480649248/
According to our user, he reported this as a false positive. Is there anything I could be doing to fix this?
Thanks.

SSL insecurities :

Vulnerable library :

Some minor things on that ASN :

Two trackers that more and more people don't want (Google analytics, Facebook)
The real problem is that you are using Afraid.org as dns server.
You need to step away from them or use their paid service.

Hi, Eddy.
Thanks for the help. The DNS thing makes a lot of sense. I'll work on the minor problems when I have a chance.
Cheers,
Mark

But I think the afraid dot org hosting might have been at the culprit of avast flagging the site.
Wait for an Avast Team Member to confirm this and eventually unblock.

Thanks for the feedback. So far I managed to get my ssllabs rating up to an A.
I'm trying to find a better DNS solution. Unfortunately my registrar (bluehost) doesn't offer DNS unless we have a hosting account. I'll keep looking.
