I tried to acess ebay.ie/.co.uk. but my trend micro security reports that it shows signs of being a phishing site giving its "true" identity as http://srx.ie.ebayrtm.com/rtm?RtmCm...a0fff8af63&uf=1&z=9&ord=1181061484515&bw=1102[broken link removed] I made a bit of a mess of posting the link but is anyone else getting this problem? P.S. Norton 2007 in my other computer doesn't report anything!! very confusing.
I have used ebay.ie a lot lately with no problems. Perhaps your security software is flagging a false positive? Or maybe your PC is compromised and attempts to access this site are actually being redirected elsewhere?
The prices aren't displayed in Euro if you log in through www.ebay.co.uk instead of www.ebay.ie even though they do keep a record of what country you live in.
I think its a false positive but can I be really sure? Seems strange that it works ok on my pc which has Norton 2007. The laptop is giving trouble. I'm scanning it[the laptop] with Spybot at the moment. It might spot something.
i got an email of 'ebay' and 'paypal' re updating my account or else it would be made inactive, (click link to activate and enter details) both emails arrived together and were addressed to 'ebay member' and 'paypal member', needless to say i've reported them both.
I don't think it was a virus maybe some spyware.The laptop that i was getting the phishing notice on has trend micro security 2007. What is the best security suite?? No AVG answers please because I used that before and got untold problems.I don't mind paying for a decent security suite so long as its good!!
Right;Here goes. I have pc with norton 2007+spybot+spyware terminator which I scan the computer with religiously every thursday.It is working perfectly and is not giving the phishing notification for e-bay.I also have an acer laptop which has trend micro+spybot+spyware terminator which is also scanned every thursday.This is the computer that was giving the phishing notification.I have Eircom supplied netopia wireless router 3347NWG which has a firewall set to medium.I'm using xp in pc and xp media edition in laptop.Come to think of it I last used AVG on an old IBM T20 os win2000 which was a disaster.Maybe AVG suits xp better?Is the Netopia firewall sufficent?
