I had the same problem awhile back. Spybot works well and took care of it.
Thanks, i'm planing to run Spybot when my scan finishes. It did the weekly one yesterday,but since this happened last night i'm running it again.
It tkes a few hours so i'm getting out of the house now away from the putor. I keep cking every few minutes. lol
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out of date programs are worthless.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.

In my experience, they aren't even detecting a problem.
That too. LOL
I have been dealing with this at work and Antivir (the free edition) has been the only thing that can remove it.
The other thing is to create a shortcut on the desktop and type in MRT (that is it!) into the run box. The simply click on the short cut and it will run the Microsoft anti-malware program that it pushes down during its monthly updates.
I re-set my password at Photobucket and all is looking good now.
If smoeone got into you account they might have wrote a script to redirect you to the threat. Still I recommend downloading malbytes Malware and run it.

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
