blim Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Found this, don't know if its true or not because I'm not about to go to Photobucket to find out! Careful all users of Photobucket...Their site has become infected from one of their advertisers with the Antivirus2009 virus !!!...When you open the Photobucket site it will appear normal for a few seconds and then flash a new window in RED...DO NOT click on it. This may not effect all people, but many I have talked to it appears the same way to them as it does to me. Be Very Careful folks!Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peaches Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Yes it is true ... some members of my site got bitten. Photobucket also has a discussion forum and it is being discussed there.Apparently this happens is when you try to get into your albums and it does not matter which browser you use or pop up blocker ... that is when the malware appears to pop up and ask you to scan your computer, blah, blah.If anyone got bitten ... use Malwarebytes to scan your computer.
