eBay Auction Tool Web Site Infected With Malware

A Trojan horse lurking on servers belonging to Auctiva.com, a Web site offering eBay auction tools, infected people’s PCs last week.
The problem became very public when Google’s malware warning system kicked in as people tried to browse the site, saying Auctiva was infected with malware. Google will display an interstitial page warning people of certain Web sites known to contain malware.
“It appears the reason these virus alert warnings started showing up on our site is because some of our machines were injected with malware originating in China,” according to a post on Auctiva’s community forum. “The malware we believe to be at fault has also hit a number of other high-profile Websites over the past six months.”
