Viruses and worms

HI there
Today whilst I have been on ebay I keep getting a pop up from avast saying a threat has been detected. When I click on more info all I get is that it is URL:mal. Please can someone help? i have never had this before and have no idea what to do?

Thanks

Louise

This is very strange…
the last 6 or 7 Avast forum posts in the virus section today have all been concerning URL:Mal. Maybe this is something to do with some sort of auto-update? Anyway, thought I’d direct you to this; somebody having the same problem.

No harm to post the response here as well:-):

Hi,
This is because ebay’s advertisement network has been compromised and is showing fake (java and flash, mostly) updates. They are working on it to resolve the issue.
