Default spyware, malware, adware on ebay?

all other websites work fine, but ebay is slow as shit with all that junk, i've ran a few spyware removers, and it finds and removes them, but as soon as i go to ebay, they're back...any ideas?

Pretty much what it sounds like - it blocks scripting.

These browser attacks you speak of, are an exploitation of a scripting flaw in IE.

By allowing scripts to run, you are essentially executing shit on your computer. Since everyone seems to be incapable of writing shit that truly both allows and yet isolates this to the browser, the best way to surf safely is with scripting blocked for all sites but those that you explicitly trust and allow.

Of course you are always "breaking shit" in your browsing experience (that you can "fix" with a mere right-click to "enable"), but by requiring this occasional extra step, it essentially allows you to consider the neighborhood before you drop your pants.

Yeah, you need F8irefox. That with Spybot will take care of it.
