No More 404's extensions flagged as "Bad reputation" by Avast Anti Virus #56

For some reason Avast seems to think this extensions has a poor reputation based on some heuristics it uses. This maybe because Avast is seeing what is essentially an automated re-director ( something scammers have used for less then reputable purposes previously.)

I second this, just happened to me 5 minutes ago, Minvid was also flagged, both as 1/5 stars "Dangerous", I have posted this on Minvids hub too.
