Most likely this is caused by the false positives generated on some of the installers and as a result blacklisting the whole site.

Hello all,

If it helps, I'm also running Avast antivirus on Mac and the error message in english is:

"The requested URL contains malicious code that can damage your computer. If you want to access the URL anyway, turn off the Avast web shield and try it again. Infection type: URL:Mal".

According to information posted on Avast forum:

  https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=198818.0

URL:Mal means blacklisted URL or IP and site can be removed from black list only by Avast team members.

Hello,

Trying to download the installer the Avast ant-virus detected an infection.

No, it merely stated that it thinks the URL itself is "bad". However,
there is nothing wrong with the URL.

Nor with the content behind: it's a JSON construct which unsurprisingly
contains a list of all Identity Providers in the system.
Could you clean up the page code ?

Could you suspect a malfunction of the virus scanner instead?
Greetings,

Stefan Winter
