Every time i start browsing in Ebay a Gammiss ad pops up & hijacks the screen - deleted all cookies & history and it went away for a week but now it is back again. It is very annoying, How do I stop this happening? Any Ideas

There have been several questions about this lately.

You have unknowingly downloaded some malware onto your computer. These redirections won't be prevented by an ordinary ad blocker.

You need to download and run an anti malware programme to remove what's causing it. Malwarebytes anti-malware is very good, and free.

For more information enter gamiss in Google.

@ghearb

Are you browsing using an Apple device ??

Gammiss appears to be an adware program which affects the Safari browser in particular

Try browsing eBay using a different browser such as Firefox with the Adblock Plus extension added & enabled

Thanks i am using Firefox but i had disabled Adblocker as it kept stopping me switching web pages. Duh!! - I have now cleared recent browsing history and re-enabled Adblocker - Hope it works
