Do you have anti-virus software installed already? I've used Avast.com for several years as my sole anti-virus software. It is free and a top quality product. It's also easy on the processor. Once you're set up you can do a scan for viruses. One caveat is that once some viruses get into your system they can be very difficult to eradicate. I've had to use Killbox once, which has the ability to nab a virus process on startup before it has a chance to play hide and seek. Hopefully that's not the kind of problem you have.

It sounds like you have been infected.

Usually when one of those popups advertising virus scan detection etc it in itself is a spyware/virus etc. I usually click the X to close box and not cancel.

I use two very good free products.

Adaware for checking for spyware/adware etc.

Good luck. If at first it does not fix the problem .
Restart computer into Safe Mode and run the software.

onelove,
I had the same problem this morning, however my AVG picked it up and blocked it. I notified photobucket of the infection on my account and within an hour they had cleaned it out. I now have regained access to my account and can function as normal.
