Avast blocking a trojan from this site?

It doesn't happen when I actually type in the address in the address bar. But whenever I search for something in google like "fox farms soil rollitup" the first few links are rollitup.org and match this site, upon clicking avast instantly pops up saying it blocked a trojan. Anyone else getting this? trojanman.jpg
 
Avast is always detecting Trojans on RIU.
I had to remove my Avast recently as it was just becoming too much of hog on my system.
 
norton and avast eat your resources up just install Microsoft Security Essentials

these antivirus's flag everything out side there little safe list like say if you wanna download a torrent its not gonna let you because its flagged as not safe by the programmers that make these apps if you wanna keep avast at least just remove the avast browser extentions thats whats flagging your links to here
 
False positives. AV companies wouldn't make half as much money if users became aware that you're not actually going to get a virus every other click of your mouse, so they pretend they are blocking viruses and trojans and such so as to make you think the software is worth using.

I never have any AV of any sort as the reality is that if you have a hair of common sense, there is simply no need. I'll install something once every 18 months or so, just to be sure, and nope, nothing to be found.
 
there is a malicious "you have a virus" web splash that pops up if you come to rollitup in any way except typing in your address bar, it is not a false positive. Just X it out and don't click on it
