Avira browser blocking paypal?
« on: September 22, 2015, 04:51:54 AM »
Hello all,
I tried to make a purchase on ebay earlier today and when I logged into paypal it was blocked for phishing?
This was after clicking the "pay now with paypal" button on ebay.
I tried initially with chrome, then with firefox and had the same result.
Anyone else have this issue or know how to resolve it?

Thanks in advance

Avast gets blamed for a lot of things but your screenshot shows it's Avira doing the blocking. NOT AVAST
Hopefully you aren't running more than one resident AV on your system.
