    The same thing is happening to me with Safari, FF, Opera and Konqueror. On the one machine I had Photobucket bookmarked, it's working normally.

    when it`s finished and removed all the spyware try spybot, it`s allways best to run a few different programs

    What anti-virus/spyware do you have install on you system?

    I've scanned my Windows machine; I don't think malware is the problem. Not sure what, but think something odd is happening with Photobucket.

    and you cannot access photobucket with either browser

    If you click on my link below, does it take you to the site in your first post?

    It sound like a problem with your service provider, it might be ok tomorrow.

    just use the proxy for now.
