Well if you want to keep looking for keygens, this is going to keep happening. And one day, Avast won't catch it. And you'll bork your computer.

SFW?  It's a file hosting service. They are not responsible for what is hosted, unless someone complains about it.
I'm looking at the tab open in IE that says "Flash Keygen.zip".

You view it your way, I'll view it mine, then.
But you should know, everywhere is the dark side. When you deliberately go looking for it, stronger is its power; more likely it is to raise its head.
You go anywhere that has the word "Keygen" in it, you're halfway asking for it.
I'm not exactly pure as the driven snow, either, but if I got such a warning, I wouldn't be posting it on an antimalware forum.
