Avast warning, EBay links top left

[irv]

Just a word of caution, when clicking on the sites ebay auction headings at the top left, I am receiving this from Avast. Avast is saying it has shut this down but it must do a scan. Reads safely aborted connection on www.ebay.com because it was infected withJS:Redirector-BMU (Tr)
I get it as soon as click "login"
I have tried it 3 times now and get the same warning clicking on the Post War tab.

I have no idea what it is but I trust Avast security.

I went in the regular way to EBay instead of via this site and all is fine that way.
I also PM'd Leon but haven't received a reply yet so I thought I best let you all know.

I am not computer savvy so maybe its a glitch of some sort but I am not taking any chances.

I am still getting it this morning, just tried.

Clicking on the link does nothing, it's when I click on "Sign in" that I instantly get the Avast security warning.

I have been using that ebay link to sign in since I joined this site over 2 years ago and this is the first time this has ever happened.

I know I also had trouble with Viglink Leon had set up. Many others did as well, unbenounced to me, before Leon got rid of it.

I have no idea what the Avast warning means but I won't be logging in nor purchasing anything through that ebay link until it is corrected.

Just thought I'd let you all know.

Just did a quick Google search and found this. This was also posted yesterday. Be careful folks.

AVG says Ebay is infected with JS:Redirector-BMU[Trj]
According to AVG, Ebay is infected today with JS:Rediretor-BMU[Trj]

The precise url is ebay.com/rdr/js/s/rrbundle/flat.min.js

Another site's info on what this is says:

JS:Redirector-BMU is a trojan that comes hidden in malicious programs. Once you install the source (carrier) program, this trojan attempts to gain "root" access (administrator level access) to your computer without your knowledge.

Trojans like JS:Redirector-BMU are difficult to detect because they hide themselves by integrating into the operating system. Once it infects your computer, JS:Redirector-BMU executes each time your computer boots and attempts to download and install other malicious files. Upon successful execution, it deletes the source program, making it more difficult to detect.

Just got this warning a minute ago. Anyone else have it come up?
