Top result on Google for the phrase "avast online scan" shows this site:
http://www.getavast.net/support/online-scanner
Everything there screams SCAM to me.
Especially if you wcrool to the bottom where they write:
"Please note we are not an official AVAST website – that you can find at www.avast.com."
Funny thing is, the link for "www.avast.com" leads to "http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/25497/CD185233/"

Trend Micro Discovers New Adobe Flash Zero-Day Exploit Used in Malvertisements

Again. :o
This is not funny anymore.
Never was.

If running Firefox, click Menu (three bars upper right)>Addons>Plugins>Adobe Flash (Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.296) or other flash and select 'Ask to activate' so you can control when it runs.  One of the many reasons YouTube is now running HTML5 instead of flash.  Google Chrome:  https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/108086?hl=en

Pretty vague since it doesn't state if this is a vulnerability in a specific version or all versions of IE.
