EvoM setting off Avast Malware Blocker

I'm running Avast Anti-virus with Malware Blocker. For some reason the software keeps alerting me that malware has been blocked. This has been a recurring theme for the past few weeks.

Is anyone else running into this issue?

Can you capture a screen shot of the content giving you the alert? We need a URL to check. I'm not getting any reports on my computers. Thanks.

Here's a snippet I took. Depending on the URL I access the "object type" changes.

Hey guys,

Thank you for your reports. In order to followup reports of an alerts we need as a minimum a screen shot of the URL triggering the alert. The vast majority if these are generated from ads and links outside Evom or false positives. Thanks!

I am seeing this issue on my work laptop now. We run ESET NOD32 AV. It only happens when I access an EvoM link via google search result.

Grr it doesn't happen all the time. But I'm confident the URL is pretty close to what TimV listed a few posts up.

Here's another alert from Avast. It happens every time when clicking a link from google. It happens from inside evom from time to time but isn't consistent.
