Put in a google search for Avast false positves, and see just how many results you get come up. I list just the first few I found this way

Or one virus difinition that resulted in many sites getting blocked by Avast

Or even a false positive that flagged up one of windows XP core files as suspicious file and reccomended that is was removed. Hmmm

Please note most of these were reported to Avast on their own forums.
