I get warning from Avast that hxxp://208.91.197.132/bthome/BlackthorneB2Shade_GB.bmp is part of Firefox and that this is a problem.

Whenever I am shopping on Ebay, I get this message:
hxxp://208.91.197.132/bthome/BlackthorneB2Shade_GB.bmp
A warning pops up from Avast that says that it's part of Firefox, that it is malicious, and that Avast prevented it from causing a problem. When I tried Googling this, I got strange URLs in other languages and not ONE in English.
I am running Windows 7 and all the latest updates on a 6-month old Toshiba laptop with Intel processor. I am running Avast 2014.9.0.2021 and it says "Everything is Fine."
All help would be appreciated

I am glad you also posted on Avast's forums, when I did some research on the topic not much came up either.
If this keeps happening, maybe run a virus scan? It looks like you have ad block, so you can also block the script in Firefox on the page. However that only seems like a temporary solution.
Try these, running many may catch something another scanner did not: Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
