Cannot logon to MY EBAY

[backbone]

I can go to any webpage even the "My Ebay" webpage but when I try to login, IE will not let me through. I have the SSL 3.0 and SSL 2.0 checked or turned on. I even turned the SSL 1.0 on when I read the error message. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

need more details. What's the error message?

 

[WiseOldDude]

firewall?
cookie controls?

 

[backbone]

I am using a router and I did have the SP2 Windows firewall turned on. I turned it off. As far as cookies, I lowered the settings down as low as they can go. I am really stumped.

I tried to paste the error message but it would not let me do that either.

Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer

I HAD TO BREAK THE MESSAGES UP. IS THAT BECAUSE THERE IS MESSAGE LIMIT ON TEXT OR IS IT MY COMPUTER?

 

[backbone]

Still no luck. I have looked on my old computer and I could not find any differences in the security, privacy, or the advanced settings.

 

[networkman]

Do you have anti-Spyware utilities loaded? I know some programs like Spyware Blaster can disable certain ActiveX controls and other items in Internet Explorer(or other browser) and no matter what changes you make to the browser it still won't change.

It's a long shot..

 

[backbone]

Hey networkman,

Thanks for your reply. I have adaware and spybot loaded but this happened before i ever installed them. I have gone over all of my active X settings and they are exactly like my older computer. You are on to something though. Before I changed some of the settings it would not let me go to the "My Ebay" webpage. Now I have to figure out a way to login. I am also ging to contact Ebay to see if it is something on their end.

It sounds like some kindof spyware. I had this happen to a friend of mine. We ended up just formatting.

 

[backbone]

Nocturnal,

I am a little baffled in how I could have serious spyware with this new computer. The only webpages I have been to thus far are ebay and these computer forums. No other files from any other computers either. Is there away spyware can get on a machine from the default MSN webpage that shows up when IE first boots up?
