Thank you for this report, @ldobreira ! We have reach out to Avast and they confirmed it was a mistake on their side and fixed it.

I use AVG too and have been receiving this one: metamask.github.io/phishing-warning/v3.0.3/favicon.ico

metamask avg report

... is this also a false positive? the URL brings up a blocked page all red with a big warning so I thought it was real and not sure what to do about the fact it is reported repeatedly ... is this caused by metamask plugin for firefox?
