Default eBay warning, please read

Just a heads-up;

I just had an ebay auction hijack my browser when I clicked on the link. It opened up about 20 additional windows on my computer before I could get my modem locked out, and it locked my computer up solid, had to manually shut it down and re-start it. Everything appears to be OK now, but I'm sure this was a hijacked auction with some sort of automatic re-direct code embedded in the auction.

Yes, I've reported it to eBay.

I would advise to browse eBay with caution, but there were NONE of the typical warning signs you normally see on these hijacked accounts. The ad was for a 427 Ford side-oiler engine.

I am just about finished with eBay for good. They have GOT to do something about their security flaws!

Eric
