OH was one Ebay yesterday and got a virus come up, spent all evening, instead of going out, trying to remove it.

It was only only on his account not mine or sons

Ran spybot again today on mine & sons account tonight, in safe mode, and it found nothing, ran it on OH's account and it found 111 threats! now all removed, phew

Kim x

EBAY VIRUS WARNING..............got this from another forum, its affected some people on there

quote-
"My work IT department are saying Virus warnings ar flashing up all over the country from people looking at Ebay sites. Just to warn others as its a free listing weekend"

quote-
"I was listing on Ebay my son's computer and I kept getting a warning pop up that the computer was infected. Now it won't do anything at all, open files, connect to the internet etc. It has even put a big message on his desktop screen and over-rided his normal desk top picture. "

quote-
"I was looking at ebay last night and a Norton message popped up to say a virus had been blocked !!! So i think you may be right !!"

quote-
"I just had a warning that if i continued malware would be infecting my computer as well. Thankfully i have just done a scan and found nothing but everyone needs to be careful."
