JS:Redirector-BKD

[mpgsales]

Starting today...everytime I sign into eBay...my virus protection (Avast) keeps going off stating it blocked a virus. It also states its coming from ebay. I can go everywhere else on the internet with no problem. It says it's a JS:Redirector-BKD(TRO). I scanned my computer with two different VIRUS programs and Malwarebytes and it found nothing in my computer.

Hello

I have the same problem too !

[mikealfa1]

Same here and using same virus program

[mikealfa1]

Please advise ebay as it's not an issue with Avast here in Silicon Valley per their tech support

Hi!

I have same problem.

I always get Avast pop up when I want login to Ebay.com

[rposwe13]

Same here, also using Avast.

But Avast only warns me when using Firefox not Opera web browser.

It's very annoying, I hope Ebay tech support wants to check this out and fix it soon.

Yep , same here as well, yesterday and now today...I use Avast as well...been just clicking it off and then I carry on as usual...my computer is fine, no virus after scan...not sure what is causing it when going to ebay, seems to only happen when I first land on the ebay site, I can move around ok after that though.

Same here today using AVG, first time I've gotten that.

 This information was found on a microsoft page.  Does sound like ebay has been hacked.

Just happened to me Avast caught it, what kind of virus is it? And what can it do, avast popped up with it when I was trying to relist some auctions...Da Nut

[veiledsun]

My avast has done the same as well. I can not list anything but can go else where on the site.  Of course it had to happen when people are trying to gear up with listings for the holidays.  I hope ebay finds a fix to this soon or I am going to have to list else where for some sales.  Not much else to be done I guess.

I also have encountered this for the first time tonight. I use Avast/AVG and it popped up while logging into ebay. scans in malwarebytes are clean. My antivirus keeps blocking it when i relog in.

same as everyone else, this is what comes up, JS:Redirector-BKD(TRO)

Hopefully someone at ebay is monitoring this discussion board and gets to finding out the problem and resolve it. not good for business!

The same thing has also been happening to me everytime I go to the login page. It has been happening the last several days, and I really hope it did not give my computer a virus.

I don't know if this will help but since one post said it may be a malicious script has anyone tried using the firefox add on script blocker?     You then only allow the ebay scripts that you need.  It's not too hard to use.  

I am not having any problems, knock wood, so I can not test this out to see if it will help.

Avast caught it last night and again this eve. I got an audio warning stating "Threat detected" along with an Avast box that says: "Threat secured. We've safely aborted connection on www-ebay.com because it was infected with JS:Redirector-BKD [Trj]."

I ran Avast and Malwarebytes scans after and they came up clean. Seems the problem lies within ebay. Scary for those not running an antivirus program.
