TrafficLight marking ALL ebay auctions as malicious

BobbyRay

Latest update June 2017. TrafficLight is marking ALL ebay auctions as malicious. As soon as you click on a specific auction, or even look at an image, TrafficLight blocks it. In Firefox I have no ability to whitelist ebay so I have to turn off TrafficLight to go there.

Why in the world would you block ebay??? And why no whitelisting??

That's Strange I recently download the traffic light extension on firefox and I am not getting any issues so far. 

Can you please uninstall and reinstall the file and try again. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/trafficlight/

Try to clear the cache and cookies first.

It's still happening. I'm having exactly the same problem when I try to use ebay. ALL are marked as malicious. There's a problem with whatever bitdefender has done in its latest update.

Why would reinstalling a bad update fix anything?

Same thing is happening to me with Firefox 53.0.3. I don't visit eBay everyday, but I remember a recent update to TrafficLight because now the green light has a white check mark inside it.

The eBay pages with the problem for me seem to be the ones with a text boxes (for qty), or drop down lists to select color/type/style. The pop-up message doesn't say Traffic Light - it says Bitdefender and it tells me that it might be a phishing attempt. For hours I've was trying to figure out when did I ever install Bitdefender on my PC. I couldn't find it anywhere. Maybe Tech Support can change the display to "TrafficLight" on the pop-up so we know which security software is sounding an alarm!

I followed Firdovsi's advice - Firefox - I cleared cache and cookies. Then I uninstalled the TrafficLight add-on, PLUS ALL OTHER ADD-ONS.

I closed Firefox. restarted it. Reloaded Trafficlight.

Same problem !!!

Hello,

 

Please provide me with a few examples of URLs (auctions) that get flagged as malicious.

Thank you for reporting this issue.

This happens with virtually every auction on ebay...

These are just a couple random auctions from simple searches. The only way to see any auction on ebay is to turn OFF TrafficLight! Would be nice if I could just whitelist the site. I purposely chose 2 of these from very high ranked ebay sellers.

Hello,

 

I was able to reproduce this issue on our test beds. It would seem only Firefox is affected by this.

The issue has been sent to our devs and a fix  will be released in the shortest time possible.

BobbyRay

Just to verify... YES this is still an issue and kind of a pain in the... Hope you guys can fix it or whitelist the site or something!

Hello,

 

We apologize for the inconvenience.

At this time there is no ETA, will update the thread when a fix is available.

I use Windows 10 64 bit and 64 bit Firefox. All product offerings on ebay are being flagged as threats.

Is ebay a threat?

If not, will ebay sue Bitdefender for maliciously interfereing with their commerce in an illegal fashion?
