When I start firefox on my laptop, Avira gives me a black list warning and stops some processes. During my browsing with firefox, the warning comes back and back again. What can I do to stop it?

This is the message Avira gives when I start Firefox.
Please translate the message exactly.
When I open the browser, firefox, my anti virus program shows a warning, as shown in the picture here above. It says "danger removed" " the connection with flashvd.net has been cut off, because of an infection with URL:Blacklist. We can protect you against other types of danger, Choose the button "upgrade your protection"m or "close all (2)". Details: Name of the danger URL:Blacklist URL https://flashvd.net/.well-known/http-opportunistic Process C:\\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Detected y Webschild Status closet the connection
I hope this will help you to find a solution, because this warning comes up repeately during a browsing session. Thanks in advance,
This may mean several things. For whatever reason, the browser wants to connect to that site. This could be from:
- 1) an add-on
- 2) home page setting
- 3) the shortcut you used to start the browser
- 4) malware
Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
