Why is Avast blocking SDI (Snappy Driver Installer)?

Been using it for years and it's a great tool for driver installation and suddenly Avast is blocking it as URL:Blacklist when I try to download SDI Lite version. With no way to bypass it or put it to exclusion without manually adding it to Web Shield exclusion. Also after disabling Web Shield and downloading it past, it wasn't downloading any driver indexes until I yet again disabled Web Shield. I didn't get any notifications for detections, it was just sitting there doing nothing. After disabling Web Shield, it downloaded index and drivers instantly.
