I am NOT trying to persuade anyone to NOT using Photobucket! This is NOT a joke there are several posts in this thread that clearly indicates there is a problem at Photobucket. Just because you have not been hit does not indicate your AV is working for you. The attacks are not persistent, they are random, there is more than one way for these attacks to occur and it is some kind of pull through technology that I don't understand.
If you haven't had a problem with Photobucket, then you don't need to do anything, and that is great. As I said I have contacted Photobucket and received a courtesy response, which doesn't address the problem except they are looking into the problem.
If Google is threatening to pull out of China because of all the hacking that is happening targeting Google's system, and they feel they're too vulnerable to continue, you better start realizing that ANY SITE is vulnerable and thus you are vulnerable, it is not a question of IF you are going to be hit by a serious malicious virus/trojan/rootkit it is simply a matter of WHEN. WHEN it happens your trusted AV software most likely has failed, and you will have to find new tools to deal with the problem.
