A question about : privacy error message
I'm not techie so I don't know if this is me or ebay- but everytime I try and access my reports on ebay I am getting a privacy error message. It won't let me cut and paste but basically it says 'your connection is not private' and then goers on about a site called eshopping.promotew.com
I can't do anything once I get that screen except to open a new window and access ebay cleanly again.
Best answers:
- I can't be certain, but that sounds like your computer might be infected with Malware/Spyware of some sort.
If you haven't scanned for viruses recently, theres a very good free one at www.avg.com - Puzzles me why secure sites like ebay and even bank sites use external sites for stat reports.
I use no-script which blocks them from loading automatically. But a bank site that links to an external one is stupid.
I dont trust a lot of sites anyway but having other sites loading in the background makes me suspicious.
This site uses chartbeat. You cant do that inhouse? - Nothing shows up on a full scan and the message no longer appears.
