Hello,
this is not a false positive. If Avast stop it that your PC should be OK. You should to run full test just for sure.

Hi!
Well, I scanned it with some online virus scanners..

URLVoid says CLEAN: http://www.urlvoid.com/scan/howtoformatacomputer.com
Web of Trust: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/howtoformatacomputer.com
Sucuri says it's INFECTED: http://sucuri.net/malware/malware-entry-mwiframehd2298

I couldn't scan it with VirusTotal as it simply didn't respond...

According to Sucuri.net: there is a dangerous script on the site.

It's better to avoid it

Please don't post multiple posts on the same issue, it just duplicates effort for those trying to help. I have answered your first post http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=41771.msg693730#msg693730. The site appears to have been hacked.

Please 'modify' your post change the URL from http to hXXp or www to wXw, to break the link and avoid accidental exposure to suspect sites, thanks.
