Yes, everything SEEMS to be fine now. I'm just wondering why it manifested itself in eBay primarily. Hmmmm.
|
Mine was affecting Google clicks...
I think the code downloaded is maybe partially copying common sites, to make it easier to conceal??? Ebay has been a target for spammers for a LONG time. I have received 3 emails with spoofed Ebay headers! I send them on to Ebay security. And Melody here had a Google click problem about a month ago..it is on this forum in fact! So the Malware scan fixed yours too! That's great. |
Little bit of everything to look down the avenue ...
I am on IE 9 - and have tried eBay on all three browsers:
IE 7, 8 and 9 - in all different variants and developer modes and yet - I had no problems at all; but then again I am on CA Security Plus 2010 plus MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) and then with both of those running - I guess I haven't had the opportunity to see anything or run into anything. I don't know what OS you are running on; but Windows Update did have a recent SP 1 and plus a new Malware Update as well; on top of it there is Win Live eMail 2011 which knocks off those email scams (including the spoofs - which also includes Pay Pal spoofs too); and on top of all of this - there is a "Live Scanner" download in Microsoft if you are using Vista or Win 7 - that you can use to run it. In addition - I was in eBay in FireFox - under both the current and BETA version (I have both) - and nothing appeared; there is some possibilities that the image that is embedded at eBay that you are viewing is actually infested if it is linked from an outside source instead of uploaded from eBay itself. (An eBay image) Still scanning and scrolling across eBay and not finding anything; but if there's a particular site that is actually a "sniffer to malware" you can report it by clicking on report button that is provided on the auction page. Just remember to make sure you security is cranked up high and is updated and running at its current mode ... if I had known what the link was - I would had reported it for you; but for the fact that you had received emails indicates that there is more to it than just a "malware" - for I also suspect a "back door" was installed; behind the screen or without your consent. For thousands of variants and such the like are being created and manipulated daily. What is even worse is, especially in emails - one can pick it up from there as well. Moreover, what exactly encryption is in your email accounts? I run at a 256 encryption instead of 128 encryption - but even 128 encryption is good; many folks aren't even aware they can set and/or configure their email encryption - leaving them with the basic configuration that their own DNS/IP (Your Server Provider) had provided you or with none ... Just my humble opinion. |
