Avast has been blocking 'Poly with a "URL: Mal" explanation/note. Started sometime yesterday afternoon, I think. I'm not sure if this is a blacklist problem with Avast (AVG says Apolyton is fine, using their site scanner) or what.

I think it's a false positive by Avast. I'll look into what URL services they use and see if we got blacklisted. I've contacted Avast to try to get the blacklisting removed.
Just from a quick search on this topic, I would suggest using another antivirus than Avast. It seems to have a very common problem with false positives that no other service worries about.
Clean on everything I've checked so far (also Bing and Google Webmaster Tools):

It might be that Avast just updated and it's last time checking Apolyton was during the hacking last year.Comment
