Thank you Countess, for your input and the link, very helpful.

 

I did click on both links, they were different with each attempt, and neither made any sense. I think my Norton protection took care of them.

 

In terms of what the buyer was trying to achieve, of course you are right, but I was off on a tangent thinking they were trying to rack up a feedback score.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Norton and McAfee are 2 of the most popular anti malware programs that people pay money for (why, I don't know because there are far better free ones out there, and those 2 are frightfully expensive). Therefore, the scammers and hijackers have created codes to get through those programs, very successfully. By the time Norton and McAfee catch up with it and create a patch, the damage is done, and the hijackers have created a new code, ready for the next attack. 

I would be getting onto a different device and changing all your passwords, because the hackers have your current ones. Lets just hope you didn't save your bank passwords on your affected device.
