Hi Guys,

I am unable to access my Photobucket account today, whenever I try it gets hijacked by some antivirus marketing cr@p.

Anyone else having issues? or is it just me?

I had it too, Mike.

After several attempts it finally went away long enough for me to access my albums.

I just got thru with about 10 attempts at my computer. Norton got it everytime.

I'm not having it, but have seen it in the past. It's for a program called Anti-Virus 2009 right? It's not associated with Photobucket per-say, but is an adware program that has somehow made it through your firewall. Google anti-virus 2009 or AV2009 and you should be able to find some instructions on how to remove or at least disable it. Good Luck... that one's a real pain in the ass. It's made it through both our corporate Norton at work and my McAfee at home. No idea how it did it, but it did.

Hrmm... must be something new... sorry, please disregard my other post. I just got a message that the site has now been blocked because of a site attack of virus bloodhoundexploit. that sucks... some hacker must have attacked Photobucket.

Here the details from Norton (parent company is Symantec) Apparently it attacks a vulnerable file in Adobe.

I've not had any issues, now with that said.. I do NOT use Internet Explorer. I prefer Mozilla Firefox with a couple filters added. Adblocker Plus, and NoScript.

I see ZERO ads. The Downside, is with the NoScript filter, I have to manually allow each website (like forumer.com) before I can get around on alot of websites, as its blocking any and all Scripts. You get used to it after awhile.
