[meteorite-list] EBay Server issues?????

[Don Merchant]

Hi Sterling and List. Very good point! This may be true with other members 
on the List and their comps. As far as my comp I have used a very decent 
anti-virus program/spam/Trojan ect protector. I have also (with my main 
security protection temporarily disabled) used 2 other program that seek, 
destroy, and quarantine any malicious type cookie followers, cache trackers 
and virus/Trojan files. My computer has come up totally clean. I hope others 
will take your thoughts on this seriously and check their comps as well.
Thank you
Sincerely
Don Merchant
