privacy error message

I'm not techie so I don't know if this is me or ebay- but everytime I try and access my reports on ebay I am getting a privacy error message. It won't let me cut and paste but basically it says 'your connection is not private' and then goers on about a site called eshopping.promotew.com
I can't do anything once I get that screen except to open a new window and access ebay cleanly again.

I can't be certain, but that sounds like your computer might be infected with Malware/Spyware of some sort.
If you haven't scanned for viruses recently, theres a very good free one at https://www.avg.com0 -

I do scan regularly and am running one now in the background. It is only when i try and download an ebay report that I get it.
Will log out now though and let scan finish and see if it shows anything.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

I have had exactly that same message today when I tried to run defect report.0 -
Puzzles me why secure sites like ebay and even bank sites use external sites for stat reports.
I use no-script which blocks them from loading automatically. But a bank site that links to an external one is stupid.
I dont trust a lot of sites anyway but having other sites loading in the background makes me suspicious.
This site uses chartbeat. You cant do that inhouse?Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
