hello everybody,
I am an avast user from germany. after using free avast, I decided to upgrade it to be safe from internet threats, especially because I use paypal from time to time.
well a few days ago I was on ebay and realized that a file called eBayISAPI.gz was automatically downloaded unto my pc. avast did not hinder it or warn me.
the link it was downloaded from was
I was confused what the file was about however I could not find it on my pc. I started a full scan with avast and malwarebytes but both programes did not find anything. I searched further and found out that the same day other files were downloaded unto my computer too:

I scanned each of these files but the results were all negative. google searches were quite contradictory so I asked the ebay customer service what this strange ebaySAPl.gz was about and they told me that it was a TROJAN. I am scanning my pc on and on but cannot find anything. in the meanhile the files above simply dissapread from my pc but I have no clue how or why. please could anyone help me? I am really desperate :(((thanks in advance.
