Avast all of the sudden out of the blue is now intermittently identifying https://login.live.com/ (40.90.22.185) as a Threat. I can't even sign into my hotmail email half the time. One time it does it, the next time it doesn't and then the following time it does it again. Very annoying and inconvenient.

I don't know why the entire picture is not showing. I'll try posting it sideways.

Me too - started yesterday and intermittent. Also happens on Microsoft main site. Annoying!

I got an email from Avast Support. I just found it because I just now was able to log into live.com again.
