Taken from a RAD thread - but I have this at the mo :evil: :facepalm:
Keep your eyes open for a java update pop up when you're on photobucket.
Don't click the red X to close it as you usually would - use task manager to shut it down. If you click the X it installs a virus / trojan and its a good one at that. Got past two anti virus programmes and wasn't picked up when I did a full system scan. It stops you opening task manager and all sorts of weirdness once installed - removes the close window button, plenty of porn pop ups (some quite good to be honest.......)
I've ended up having to do a full factory restore as I couldn't track it down in the registry - such fun when you have to reload 19000 tracks back onto I tunes. Luckily I back everything up fairly regularly and have half an idea what i'm doing on a PC, but its that cute it even removes the system restore option so you have to do everything in safe mode.

well look out for it and good luck B
