I have never seen that.

Of course, I use ghostery, noscript, https everywhere, canvass blocker,
random agent spoofer, adblock plus, etc.

But, I wasn't worried about spam.

You should, a lot of malware is delivered with online spam and this
ain't just a problem on shady sites, it also a problem on mainstream
sites too.


I just wanted to know how to INTERPRET the message.

It's odd that, without Avast, Firefox doesn't seem to have any problems.
So, is Avast just making this stuff up?

No, they have different view on trustworthy, firefox lets cloudflare to
pass as they know there are sites which uses it without setting up the
account with proper certificates. Avast just looks at the domain you
enter and what the certificate says.

It's up to you to decide if you want to follow the recommendation or
not. If you need fast help, use duckduckgo.com to check out the domain
you are to enter.
