If you don't have SpyBot Search and Destroy installed on your computer, go to http://www.safer-networking.org/ and get it. It's free, but you can donate to the developer (I did a couple times because I appreciate his work). Install it and run SpyBot. Let it clean out the problems it finds.

Every week or two, run SpyBot again, and make sure you get the latest updates.
 
Here's the deal...

IMPORTANT! Photobucket.com problem read here:
Last night Photobucket.com DNS at register.com was hacked by malicious people that are trying to compromise our business!
We are in no way affiliated with such bad deeds and cooperate with photobucket in capturing these individuals.
They have pointed the domain photobucket.com to an account hosted on our systems!
We have blocked that and photobucked techs have restored the domain pointing to its original location!
ALL account information and pictures on photobucket.com are OK, please have patience!
Unfortunately the complete DNS replication usually takes 24-48 hours and during this time caches DNS records might still point to us!
The normal operation of Photobucket is restored and as soon as the replication is complete there should be no further such issues!
We would like to emphasize that we are in now way responsible for what happens with photobucket and all users bumping across our systems!
We are a legitimate web hosting company operating since 2003 and in no way tolerate such hacking attempts!
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected]!
Thanks for your patience and understanding!
 
I noticed I was having a problem with Photobucket a few days ago too.

Basically, I can't get into my account. Like most people, I use it to host pictures to link on forums. All those pictures are still linked and if I right click on "properties" the address still leads to my account.

I had them send me my user and password via email and it's all correct. I just can't get in.


Good to know they are working on the problem.
