Well I was able to get through the various bumps in the road with firefox 3.6 with noscript and requestpolicy and the Requests page link worked for me and no avast alert.
The site does throw up pop-ups like they are going out of style, but again after allowing those and still no avast alert.
Unfortunately on dial-up this is like watching paint dry, but I think everything has loaded, but I haven't had any alerts.
