Have just turned on my computer and tried to purchase an item through Ebay only to be shown an advert for OpenDNS which does not allow further access due to phishing. How do I get rid of it?! Have no idea where it has come from and have not had any problems in the past. Thanks

the easy answer is to stop using openDNS's servers and use your ISP's DNS servers.

But why do you want to get rid of a warning that you are going to a phishing site, the fact you have got the warning indicates a much worse underlying problem, and the openDNS page is not an advert, it's trying to protect you.

First thing I would do is run a full scan with your antivirus software, and also download malwarebytes and run a full scan with that.
