I 'd try Freakiness' suggestion.

Have a look in your add/remove programs pane and see if there's any oddities there.

If you don't know how , tell us what version of windows you are running and someone will help you out.

I had to remove something similar from my SILs computer recently. It had me stuffed for a while because I hadn't used Windows 8.

Also what internet browser are you using? sometimes the addware popup thingy has made itself an Add-on tot he browser

i all,

Thank you for your great advice. I have done everything I can about removing this sh***y thing from my computer.

It never appeared before today.  The following instructions do not apply because I do not have it showing in the Programs

Once again, thanks for the advice.

I wonder if a system restore to a point before yesterday would help?

what windows version and browser are you using?

What I meant was that it was put there by clicking on the wrong thing/site, regardless or not of whether you did it intentionally. By 'wrong site' I'm not implying "naughty" sites either. You misconstrued my meaning.

There are various ways malware gets on a computer. It happened to my daughters computer recently when she'd clicked on some survey/site via Facebook. It was all perfectly innocent looking she claims. Then she started getting popups and stuff like that.

As others have said it has nothing to do with ebay. I do not have that annoying popup on my computer either.

You have at some stage clicked on something that you shouldn't have and now have malware of some sort on your computer.

I would be using a program such as Malwarebytes and scanning your computer and removing that nasty.

Ebay didn't put it there, you did.

That's a bit harsh... It doesn't always mean that the person clicked on something they shouldn't have, sometimes these Ad-Ware can sneak in via legitimate downloaded  software; it's happened to me a few times and I don't click on things I shouldn't.. 

 

With these types of things it's not always as easy as going to Malware bytes and scanning, there is a multiple step process to get rid of it completely because they're really good at invading your computer.

She googled for a solution, followed the instructions, which included downloading Malwarebytes, then removed it from her computer.

Hi grumpy-cat,

I installed your suggestions and the bluddy things is still there.  It seems to change the items to suit what I am looking at, i.e. the new thread about cat pee - the ads were all about cats.

I am about to try using ebay on my OH's computer - but certainly not logging in.

Thanks for your suggestion.

chopped liver, yep I'm just chopped liver

I hardly think it has anything to do with Ebay or else we'd all be screaming.

Try some of those other suggestions, also just because you have a "good" malware program doesn't mean you can't try another one to try and sort this out,

It's probably caused by something called EnhanceTronicAds, but I can't help if the op won't talk to me, so I give up

*wanders out Again*

Try asking on Whirlpool Forums. They are very knowledgable there. I've had lots of good advice given by the computer wizzs who frequent that site whenever I have computer issues.

Good luck.
