Customer service? Sending you a 'let me google that for you" link? Where's that big red Fail stamp ......
I did look at the search results though, and one of the listings has multiple AV hits against your url (specifically port 8332), not just Avast. If it's your pool server that's setting them off, check with anyone else using the same pool server if they're also getting the same hits.

I guess we should let this be a lesson to never use Avast because, if for no other reason, their customer service is full of stupid.
You've got that right.Avast is clearly unhelpful in this case.I think we should advise those using avast to use an alternative Antivirus solution instead.The link they gave didn't even give useful answers.

I've got a response from Avast over the flagging of ozco.in as a virus/malicious link.

Thanks,

I am getting security warnings from Avast antivirus that is preventing me from accessing just the website on one of my non-mining machines... Anyone else running into this? If is turn off 'Network Shield' I can access it... Problem is, there is no exclusion table for the Network Shield so I can whitelist ozcoin....
Here is the 'More Info' from Avast:

everyone using avast is running into this, sorry I guess I should have posted sooner, I emailed avast about the false positive (as have a few other miners), but have had no response
somehow they think we are serving up "poclbm" from our mining nodes - as miners would be aware we serve getworks to the poclbm or other mining software you installed on your machine
false positives will be a way of life for a long time, most mining software has been flagged as virus at some stage because it is included in trojan droppers - guilt by association :/
