Redirected to another site

Every time I try to go on any eBay page, I get redirected to some bogus page http//a.agvzvwof. I'm having to use my wife's iPad to write this. Is anyone else having the same problem, and how do you stop it?

I also have this.  I went to internet options under security and added it to prohibited sites.  Stopped the problem.

Re: Redirected to another site

 I had this today too and found the solution on anotehr forum.  For me it was the AVG Extension that somehow installed itself on Chrome browser (probably during a software update for AVG antivirus).  It's an extension that redirects from suspicious websites, which it apparently thinks ebay is.  I disabled the extension and problem went away but here is more info on removing:

Yes, same problem. Only on ebay site. Anti virus finds nothing. Malwarebytes scan finds nothing. Any advice would be appreciated.

YES - found solution. Was the AVG Safesearch extension that was installed to Chrome.  

 

Now I see the answer posted right here above my post, but I couldn't see that response at time - could only access this stie from the cache function or would get redirected.

 

Here's what I did - in case it helps any one else : 

Go to Chrome settings, chose extensions, then delete AVG safesearch toolbar from the list.  Next went to computer control panel, selected programs, and uninstalled the AVG safesearch toolbar.

 

Seems to have worked.

Re: Redirected to another site

Same problem.  I use Chrome and AVG.  I didn't see an AVG extension so I updated Chrome and the problem went away.

Re: Redirected to another site

However, the problem remains for those of us who do not have AVG or its toolbar, so it is not the cause of the same problem for us
