Haven't had an answer to my last tech question yet and since that thread is private will ask here.

Was just on photobucket to attach some pics to a PM back to an X Marker and suddenly I got this horrendous warning message that my computer was infected with four worms....only the message was NOT from my anti-virus scanner...it was a well done fake with shield logo like some antivirus company and a phoney microsoft logo. It was not possible to close any of the attacking messages...they just cycled with horrendous warnings. Finally had to hard boot and shut everything down.

Fired up again and went back to finish the PM. All was well until I went back to photobucket to attach pics again and the same thing happened. This time I was able to close the initial phoney baloney message and get out of photobucket.

My own antivirus scans show me as clear with no problem. I'm guessing some looney without a real life has latched on to photobucket taking advantage of the current worm scare.

But dang, bottom line is my photobucket images are inaccessible until the offending trash is cleaned off of photobucket.

Anyone else have this happening yet?

If it does, close the very first screen that comes up. Or know that you'll have to hard boot to escape it.

I do so hate the fungus that lays this insanity on the world
