Security warning

There's been quite a bit about Chinese language related 'glitch' incidents on ebay and paypal, going back for many months. However, very recently they've taken on even more frequent, stranger (and riskier) dimensions. Very curious indeed.

Is anyone else receiving the Security Warning Box? I was printing labels this morning and it kept coming up constantly on every page that had the "https" - is there a security breach at ebay that they are not telling us about?

I had Chinese writing come up when trying to change a listing. Something might be happening.

Just went to login to PP. Right when I went to type in my password, blue Chinese writing went over my email address. I got off the page, cleared history, cleared cache, cleared cookies. Anyone else seen this-- EVER?

Ads go from English to Chinese and I get Frobidden 303 screen when I log on

This started last week. I'd click on an ad and all would be fine. I surf clicking on other ads. Go back to a previously looked at listing and it is in Chinese with no pictures. At first the next item I clicked on would be normal but now anything that is saved in My ebay is in Chinese. Both in Firefox and IE. I've called tech support their suggestion is clear history and reboot. That worked for a few days but I was hit again this am. I ran malwarebytes, Ccleaner, dumped all history and rebooted. That worked and I was able to access eBay and here I am now.

Suggestions please. Do you think it's a random hack or did I click on a listing with code? Has me baffled and concerned what with PayPal having cc card and bank info. Customer Support said other problems similar to mine had been reported.
