    Yay, a virus that doesn't let me go to photobucket.com

    I just get a porn ad page whenever I try to go there, tried running Spybot with no luck. Any ideas? WOOO.

    Yup, sounds like a virus to me.

      Check out your hosts file. In %System%/System32/drivers/etc.

      Only entry should be

      127.0.0.1 localhost

      If something edits this they are able to change what a website will goto.
      So after you edit it if this is the problem, make it read only, nothing should ever have to edit this.

        Well, until you can use photobucket again, you could just use a different image hoster, like imageshack.

          True, I got rid of everything in the etc folder at it still just redirects me from photobucket.

            Hmm, do a search for hosts, see what it comes up with.

            If that doesn't work check out the programs I mentioned in the Antivirus thread
            http://www.pavilionboards.com/forum/...ead.php?t=8669.

            And if you're using IE, stop doing that. Get Firefox or Opera, ie a real browser :P.

              Too bad a lot of sites are made for IE and don't work as well with Firefox.

              Though that doesn't stop me from using Firefox. Besides, deviantART is aimed at it instead of IE.
