What happened is it automatically downloaded "Internet Security 2010" and made a desktop icon without my permission. I had Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware turned off at the time. It took over my computer with constant pop-ups saying my computer was infected and I needed to buy IS 2010 to fix the problem. The infections were bogus but the pop-ups kept coming...about every minute or so.
I ran Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and it fixed the problem.
Just putting this for the ones that use Photobucket to host their pictures. I think it's actually in one of their GIF adds because this warning doesn't come up every time.

All though I do hate the PhotoB I have never had an issue, ? I access it from different computers both with good antivirus and never have seen this?
ARE you sure it came from PhotoB My son got the same IS 2010 and it took me hours to get rid of it. that program is not real it is scam to get your credit card numbers,
I'm positive it came from Photobucket. When I was moving things around a few nights ago in Photobucket I started getting pop-ups saying my computer was infected and I needed to buy this crap called Internet Security 2010. I had a desk top icon all of a sudden and I never downloaded anything or even clicked on anything. I figured out how to get rid of it and when I logged onto Photobucket this morning this is what came up and it blocked the site.
