It wouldn't affect me because I have anti-virus software and run a computer shop. I am probably one of the last people in the world that would have an malware or virus issue because I would ether not click on the dubious link, grab bad software or be prone to someone trying to scam me. It is possible, yes but very unlikely. If it did happen, I would know what to do about it and would know the signs it is actually happening.
I have personally tried this on more than a dozen machines and it keeps doing it. The only solution I have found that kinda works is going into internet security settings and manually adding the many eBay sites and sub sites to the list saying they are trusted. This is a pain in the neck. Another poster, actually gave a list. This is only some of them. I have found many more to the likens of over 100 sub sites to make this work and I still have to add some every here and there. eBay needs to fix what ever is causing this. I am suspecting something on there end isn't coming from an HTTPS server which could cause the issue.
I don't normally use IE but I am for now until this gets addressed. If something really doesn't work and I need it to, I have been using Chrome to take care of some function on the eBay site.
