Avast Gives Warning About Examples Created on JSFiddle

Many discussions include a helpful link to a JSFiddle example.
However, when clicking on some (all?) of these links, my Avast virus protection software gives me this warning: “We’ve safely aborted connection on fiddle.jshell.net because it was infected with URL:Phishing”
Here is a link to one such example.
Is that a problem with Avast or with JSFiddle?

AVG antivirus shows an equivalent message! :sleepy:

it’s just that jsfiddle hosts user-provided content, so they blacklist the entire domain. you could not share jsfiddle links on twitter at one point for the same reason. it will probably go away once jsfiddle removes offending codes.
