Freeservers.com confirms VBS:Malware-gen web shield alert is a false positive, this code is not malware:
The code that Avast software has detected as malware is not malware, it is tracking code that has been added by freeservers to track its sites.
Please be assured that this will not cause any harm.
If you have any further questions, feel free to reply to this message and either I or another support agent will assist you.
Thanks,

Symantec Enterprise Edition reports no threat found at URL hxtp://ocampoelectronics.8m.com/. Freeservers uses javascript to embed its advertising links to free-hosted sites, that's why succuri detects threat outside HTML. AVAST web shield is detecting a threat in javascript but it is a false positive. There is no threat. AVAST needs to update its definitions to resolve this false positive. A similar problem using AVAST web shield occurred at URL yahoo.com. See
