I don't right off hand, I do know they were listed as adware.
Looked at my log and it is adware from PopCap games.

Re: Possible Virus at photobucket
It is VERY important to remember that if you have what seems to be a big infestation of malware and virus's, the ONLY way to clean things up is a complete reinstall of Windows, followed by your applications. (Make sure you back up your personal data before formatting the hard drive.)
Once a system goes beyond a single virus (and for some virus's and bots, one is enough) it CANNOT be recovered short of a clean format and reinstall.

So even though all the adware's were quarantined and removed I may still need to do this?

Could that old jpg exploit have been used to do some cross site scripting? I use Photobucket all of the time and the only problems I've ever had involved their newer "Web 2.0" uploader. The "Copy" feature fails sometimes on the direct link, too.
I'd be really disappointed if an otherwise well run site like PB had allowed such a gaff. Maybe HH just has an infected JPG in her (his?) photos hosted at PB?

I don't remember a JPG exploit. Are your referring to the old GIF one? That one was a mess because there was no single patch..... Just about everything that supported the old CompuServe GIF graphics format needed to be fixed.
