Ebay Rover Hijacking My P

[countrykid]

When I am looking at something on the internet, every few minutes what I am looking at diappears and in the web address bar the following appears

https://rover.ebay.com/ar/1/146260/4?mpt=1335667762831629995&adm=0&siteid=3&icep_siteid=3&;ipn=admain2&adtype=3&size=300x250&pgroup=427272&mpvc=https://na.ads.yahoo.com/yax/clk?sn%3Dc9498b83d3242dd6c4319de07e33de7e4f7ec9e0%26es%3DFSCT.RDRVIMzLebLgeaA7z1EV2D8o_bM6UyYov8mkHOCftLdxAMYw2PjavSwc64j9OHDp2RPxkOeHmuGyTRe9CjLkmGQrXTETQnx5CmJm.lEdPgUjG6lOcip9lSkEBA.zq7zIIbj6h84nnrVuZaFCcmPnGdFl1qR93gkGr7V7jfkVTOU54YBNoUfWGzYIP8I3Hzb0Id9Gu8liifrPnTJ9T1C3cp67kJeuceuBPpY7l0gTzy9WHcBZTnTuSvChQ6ULBUYdo3rGa.FHpZ.arFWp4qWqlCpkqzrzhFdsT3yf3XBQ9aaUhJ.ih7_h0M8426Ce7VWvpTSNs4qtKFyReCevgGbBldGZw--%26ve%3D2%26ty%3D0%26url%3Dhttp://pr.ybp.yahoo.com/cj/cd/l-mzrBlb1ZzejVtBq-eSVGu9UniAjAXGiXtbPC3puXqssj4s2YTv2qJnNrrRlJtJcVaFK8phTQXFRBD0Ifw9BGfHNipenLOiFWICm4Km4YUbJi7lxf4DrKJAIKydpHP6/rurl/

There is a load of text which is similar to above in that it means nothing. For now I have simply closed it down and when I do that my original web page returns. my PC has Kaspersky for internet security. Can anyone tell me how I can stop the above Ebay Rover from hijacking my PC. Thank you

Chances are that this is Malware, not a virus. Download Malwarebytes from here https://www.malwarebytes.org/

Don't click the 'buy' tab, just the 'download' one. Then run a full scan. Should clear it.

[countrykid]

Thank you I'll give that a try and report back in a few days. Ironically, while typing this my screen twice switched to what I described in my post. Hope your suggestion clears it up. Thanks again.

Hi SeaJayPea,
I ran the Malwarebytes Scan but still getting the Ebay Rover thing highjacking my PC. Any other suggestions welcome. Thanks

[countrykid]

Hi

My PC continues to get highjacked when I am online. It is happening every few minutes and sometimes several times a minute. Below is an example of the text that appears when the rover.ebay.com web address suddenly appears in the brouser.
I have ran a malwarebytes scan but no success. Any further help appreciated.

You are not alone and adware cleaner has worked for some. It's a trustworthy site and I use the awwcleaner myself, so I know it won't cause any problems. Download the FREE program

google norton rescue tools - run the first one - run the 2nd if that doesnt do it

What is your computer operating system and which web browser are you using?

[countrykid]

My PC is running Windows 8.1 and my browser is Firefox. Thanks to all for suggestions

[pinkyboyid]

First, try resetting your Firefox Browser to default settings. Info on how to do that can be found at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

If that does not sort the problem, then download and save the latest Firefox version installation package from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?utm_source=firefox-com&utm_medium=referral

then, uninstall your current Firefox browser and run the downloaded installation package to perform a new installation of Firefox.

If you have any Bookmarks that you want to keep, then export and save them to a file and after the re-installation import back to Firefox. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer
and
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-bookmarks-html-file

Hopefully that will remove the problem.

Have you by any chance installed the Ebay toolbar?

Uninstall this and re-start your pc and see what happens. Also, block pop up boxes in Firefox via Options/Contents

My thanks to everyone for the suggestions, which I'll be trying later. I'll report back once I've done this

Just an update on this

I have tried all the suggestions, including installing adwcleaner which HC4361 suggested. Initially I thought it had worked and to a degree it has in that my web broser is being affected less, but is still happening. Just a question for HC, should it have installed an icon on my desktop so I can run it whenever I want? I can't see anything, and not sure where to find it if I want to run it again. Any further suggestions appreciated before I call in a local techie. Thanks
