Hi John,Just tried ebay with the same set up as you and no problems encountered. So it might be as you said a virus of some discription.

Hello All, For the last three days (using JAWS 11 and Ebay) I have not been able to interact with Ebay properly. I can navigate and get displayed the Ebay Home Page but when I try to click through to any subpage on a link to, say, place a bid or view a product's description, JAWS simply ceases up and will not speak. It appears that JAWS is either getting distracted with something going on on screen and cannot successfully succeed in displaying the page, although it appears to be trying to cconstantly load the page, or there may be an Ebay-specific virus problem I have picked up. I did at one point receive a message from IE8 that IE had closed the Ebay page due to a malicious ad-on interfering with things, or words to this effect. So, what I am thinking is,either I do have a virus or malicious ad-on acting on Ebay or EBay's newly-adopted policy of flashing messages up on screen constantly is causing this. The messages, which are announced by JAWS every second, are for the remaining time left before an auction will be completed; but I have also had this same problem when trying to view Ebay pages which are not part of an auction so there should be no time left messages flashing. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Additionally, will people check for me and see if they are also getting the same problems as me on Ebay with JAWS or any other screenreader? Incidentally, the rest of my PC software seems to be working OK and I am having no problems on other websites. Thanks.
