I keep getting a warning when I log into Photobucket and try to put an image here saying I have signs of a virus/malware etc. I tries to download a antivirus program called Antivirus 2009. It was very hard for me to close the windows that kept popping up. I also shut down my desktop and booted up my laptop and added the links for here and PB. it did the same at PB. I am running a scan now on my laptop.
This isn't popping up with the warning at any other sites except PB.
My firewalls and antivirus are up to date on both computers.
just wanting to let you all know there may be something trying to infect from the site there. I'm afraid to go back so I don't know how to report this there.
I will check here tomorrow to see if anyone here has had trouble there.
Antivirus 2009 IS the virus. I've been using AntiVir Personal Edition at the school. Also, Microsofts own malware remover does a good job. To use it, right click on the desktop and type MRT in the line that comes up. The simply double click on the new desktop icon you just created and do a complete system scan.

Antivirus 2009 IS a Trojan. You are now infected. Seriously. This is also a very hard thing to get rid of.
The best thing is Malbytes "Malware"...follow this link,download the program and follow the instructions
The wife's pc got a virus and Malbytes cleaned it right up. I'm glad I remembered about this post. Thanks Prax.
You are welcome. Malbytes is awesome. It's not something used to protect you though. You need an up to date virus scanner. I suggest getting the free AVG. Malbytes is a targeted virus scanner.

BTW ANY TIME...anytime you get a popup that says you are infected, download this antivirus program or something like that, instead of clicking "yes or no" or "ok or close" or whatever...click the X in the upper right hand corner.
Make sure you have an active, up to date anti-virus program...no excuses...you can get them free. And make sure you have a couple up to date Spyware programs...again no excuses, you can get those free//
Two virus scanners are AVG free and Avast. I have used both. Avast has everything, but I prefer a better kind of firewall so I use Comodo's free firewall and AVG.
Spyware, you can get two good ones free. Spybot S&D and Adaware
Before you do any of this run that Malware program
Also Vista comes with a program by Micropuke that is decent. But make sure it is up to date....out of date programs are worthless. New spyware and virus's come out each week and the only way these programs can protect is if they have new signature files weekly....daily

I have AVG, SpyBot, and Adaware. NONE of those programs can detect nor get rid of the virus I've been fighting for weeks now. I updated and everything but it doesn't detect it, but I believe it's like the Antivirus virus, as it attempts to do computer scans for viruses every 5 minutes or so. But I'm not able to get rid of it so far.

I recommended those for AFTER running malbytes "Malware" program. It's the best and only thing that gets rid of it.
The stuff I recommend are more for preventing problems. Also the best part of spybot is the immunization feature

I strongly recommend downloading Malbytes "Malware" program. It's not a virus protection or a spyware protection. Rather it targets known viruses, trojans or spyware that is the hard to get kind that your Norton, McAfees and spybot never even see or can't get rid of
