Anyone Else Getting A Virus from Ebay?

For a while now I have been having truble when I search on the bay. When I go into a listing I can't get back to the search page, when using ebay's back to search link, or google chrome back button. It takes a number of trys some times 10 or more.

Then when I use my Mac Keeper antivirus swep it has been detecting a virus.

If I stay off ebay I don't get it but as soon as I go to that site I'll get it in minuts everytime.

I never get a virus as I use Apple so I'm wondering why and what's going on.

That is a script problem with the ads at the top of the page. It actually ads the ad as a second page that has been opened. Click and hold the back button to see history and you will find how many pages actually opened with the ebay page. You may be able to disable them with an add on program.

Yeah it's been happening since eBay flooded the site and even the listing with adds.

It makes it glitchy and hard to do any searches, I don't even want to look anymore.

I have done that and sweep, but as soon as I go to the site I get it again.

The longer I leave it in my computer the worse it get to function on that site.

I should say the only problems I can tell I get from it is only at the bay. I wouldn't know it was in my computer unles I sweep, or on ebay.
 
With their capabilities, I doubt they're passing a virus along to potential customers.
It's likely something you got elsewhere that's activated by going to eBay.
Download and run Malwarebytes free scanner.
Also run a full free scan from Housecall Antivirus.
You'll likely find the culprit.

I'd never get a virus from ebay, if it didn't kill me....the paypal fees would.
 
Ok this is the virus that keeps showing up, I quarantine, delet and keep getting it normaly after I go on eBay.
