Yesterday and this morning when searching for a particular baking product I'm interested in buying I get this flashing red screen displaying
I only get this screen when you select a product to view
Clearly I leave the site behind hoping its a blip, and return later to get the same thing.
Has anyone else found this, as in the 2 years I've been on Ebay its a 1st for me.
To be safe I have scanned with Malwarebytes, Superantispyware and Avira and all come back clear:rolleyes:
In case its important to anyone answering or viewing this thread I'm using Xp and browsing with Google Chrome.
Thanks

The programs you have run simply check whether there is any infection on your own PC.
Google and some AV programs (like AVG) check whether a website you are looking at contains malware.0 -

Something's definitely going on with Ebay.
Please see my recent thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=15100970 -
Ahhh, yeah how odd. I will keep a close eye on this then and maybe run a full system scan.
I have never had this problem before, Kaspersky is normally pretty good at protecting a machine0 -
Just posted this link on another thread, but it's why you're getting the warning messages when visiting ebay
