I have a website built on HTML5 initializr.com bootstrap code. Until last week it worked fine. Today my AVAST antivirus installed on windows started blocking the navigation on this website because of Infection: JS:Decode-AQE [Trj] (Trojan Horse it says...)

Well the files on the server haven't been modified since a month. That was my first check, if ever someone tried to hack the site.

So nothing changed on files. Furthermore on other system without AVAST the website runs fine. Actually I saw before hacked websites,,, and in such a case it's google itself blocking a website because contains malaware. (This website is correctly indexed by google no malaware detected)

The only solutions I found until now is to whitelist on AVAST the Domain name, but I wish there could be something better.

Also... since this website is made upon very standard code... I imagine more people will have this problem with clients running Avast AV.

What do you suggest?

I've found that there are more cases of false positives with Avast on web protection. If ever happen to you just check first if your website is really clean with a online tool such as:

http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/

(Anyway Google is usually the first entity reporting you about malaware:

look in: Webmasters tools->Health->Malaware)

and then report the false positive to Avast at:
