Anybody know what's going on on ebay.com (as opposed to .uk or .de, .fr etc.)? As soon as I click on the page showing the list of ending auctions for UK coins, the ebay screen disappears and a message comes up saying 'Fraudulent Web Page Blocked' with a reference back to the Symantec website. Am I the only one seeing this? I'm reluctant to do anything else until I know this isn't just my PC. This seems to happen regardless of how I attempt to enter the site.

No problem for me Dave.

My McAfee has been kicking up recently when going into the selling pages, suggesting that it's dodgy and do I really want to go there.

No problem for me. (eBay.com / category Coins > UK Coins / Match by : Ending soonest)

Mmmmm. Very curious. I've never had this before, and it seems that the Norton software is blocking access with no ability to override it. I've tried to copy the web address before the page flips to the message, with the idea that I make it an exception from blocking, but i can't copy it fast enough!! Any ideas?

Web address copied and pasted for you, Dave. As above.

How about trying a different browser?

I'm currently using firefox and never seen this problem. I've done a few more checks and I've found ways to get to most of the coin list pages, but by a tedious route. What I can't get to is the full list of UK coins - I can get Greece, France etc. just not UK. As son as I try from whatever direction, I end up with this message.

I'll give Google Chrome a try - downloading now. Fingers crossed.

That explains things. Norton have become the archetypal "software from hell". When my Mac was in the repairers I was stuck using a little HP netbook running Windows 7; I got tired very quickly of all the Norton popups telling me my free trial (i.e. shipped with the computer) had come to an end and my machine was now unprotected. This seemed a constant intrusion and no way to turn it off. I'd be tempted to clean your machine of Norton and try McAfee or something similar to protect against viruses etc.

Interestingly, the problem seems to have righted itself!!!! If I had to guess, I'd say that ebay were having some problems that affected some people and not others and they have now got it right. MKaybe related to which server you gain access from or maybe which router I was using. It certainly wasn't anything I did.

But not Norton?

Well I didn't do anything to solve this problem, so I don't see that it could have been anything to do with the Norton settings. Personally, I've never had a problem with the Symantec software, so I'm happy to stick with it. Used McAfee software when I worked and didn't find any great advantage. Both seem to do the job for me.
