Hi,

In many threads (including eBay's) this site is reported as 'bad news'.

Go to the Firefox menu (≡) => Add-ons => Extensions and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions.

When you find any : remove them.

Do the same here : for Windows => Control Panel for Mac and Linux => System Preferences

However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans (even though you already have run some) :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
