Thanks, fargvs for your helpful suggestions, which I have followed.
My account details are unchanged, so I believe AVG cought it before it had time to infect my PC.
But my question is why, when I open item #3255 3097 0051 does AVG repeat that it has aborted the connection. Does everyone get this message from their antivirus program when they look at this item?
Can an ebay item's advert contain a botnet virus?
Do we all have to be worried?
