Putting this in the forums I frequent.
Ok the short and dirty of it is this: you pick up a virus somewhere named pup.bundleinstaller.vg. Malwarebytes will catch it if you scan but it's already installed and has done its damage. Luckily it's not too hard to fix once you know where to look. See my attachment. Those are NOT a part of ebay, and they cause a popup that you can only see sometimes, but you'll always hear a woman talking about "move over ebay, there's a new auction in town"... Pretty brazen to hack their site, advertise on it, then tell them to get out of the way! Anyway, if this happens to anyone here, the fix is:
1. Scan your pc with malwarebytes. download, install, and scan your computer with this: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/down...s-anti-malware
2. It should find pup.bundleinstaller.VG. It's a brand new virus, if you google it there isn't much info. Hit the "remove infection" button on malwarebytes. Ok, it's gone, but it still has a helper in your browser that will try to bring it back.
3. Go to your browser's options/tools/addons. Look for a toolbar called "Iobit" or "Iminent", those are the only 2 I know of but if you see ANY toolbar you didn't install(no one should use toolbars/searchboxes anymore anyway, they're almost all spam and add no value compared to just googling it yourself), delete it with utmost prejudice.
4. Run malwarebytes again just to be safe, make sure it's gone.
5. I also ran combofix, but I don't think that step was necessary now that I know where that virus was.
I hate thieves.
