Redirect to Fake eBay Site?

[TonyMan]

I feel something has gotten into my PC or IE that directs me to a fake eBay site. I have written to eBay and they don't seem to understand and are very slow to respond. This only happens on my home PC. I get on eBay, log on, and then click on my eBay. Instead of going there, I get the screen on the attachment asking for my credit card number, and it has no way to refuse and move on. Notice they cannot spell assurance correctly. The url is

http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta

When it goes to this page, it locks up the browser for about 30 seconds and on the bottom bar where it shows what site you are waiting for it only displays a single letter, h. Anything I click on here just takes me back to this screen. On the original eBay site, everything else seems to work fine. When I try from my work laptop, this does not happen. I have serached the web, and don't see any reference to a site or problem like this.

I am wondering if anyone else has seen this or what I can do to stop it.

Thanks

What antivirus/antispyware are you running? I'd start with Malwarebytes, Superantispyware and Avira.

Check your hosts file to see if there is an alternate path for ebay. you should only have 127.0.0.1 localhost

Midknyte, not sure what fascinates me more, your adeptness or my stupidity! I use AVG and have a few anti spyware tools, but never thought to run one - DOE! I ran Super Antispyware, just did the quick scan, and it came up with some items pointing at CLTMON.exe. I quaranteed them, rebooted & now eBay takes me to the proper page. I forgot all about your post on tools that are available and have added thatpage to my favorites for future reference. I'll run a full scan tonight.

Thanks for the help.

Greetz.

I was just about to suggest putting a https:// and see if it throws up a certificate error.

Also noticed in the url bar it's only pointing to a normal http:// yet the padlock is on?

This reminds me of a prank we're playing at work. We've redirected Youtube.com to a coworker's computer by changing the hosts files on every system in the office; folks think we're banned!
