Has photobucket sorted it out or is it still lurking? Was it only there on a certain day . Am I safe to use photobucket?

Ohh I used my photobucket yesterday and had no problems come up in my antivirus scan! Lucky Nationwide were efficiant in blocking your accounts etc Inca.

This is the point, even if they don't manage to get some money out of your account you still have all the hassle of setting up new accounts, passwords etc. I think there is a lot to be said for the old way, go into a branch and do it over the counter

This is so scary, my daughters bank account was emptied all except about £30 two weeks ago. She never even realised until she checked her statement all her savings and her current account gone. The bl@@dy sw*nes transfered all her savings into her current account and then transferred it to a Barclays account. The crafty sw*nes left just £30 in her account so as the bank wouldnt question why she was closing the account completely. She was gutted and so upset with christmas coming up. She contacted the bank straight away and they told her she would have to wait about 3-4 weeks before she will get her money back. But thank god it has now been paid into her account. I can't believe how many people I have spoken to and either friends or relatives of them have had the same thing happen to them. So it just makes me think that there is much more fraud with internet banking going on than we are led to believe. My daughter is one of the lucky ones as she has family behind her and we would have seen that she and her daughter were not going to go without at christmas, but what if she had no family behind her. How many poor people does this happen to who have no-one to turn too?

Have you reported this to Photobucket?

I don't think its photobucket as I haven't had any alerts when I've gone on there..

No probs with photobucket here. Fwiw I have had a couple of other virus "try their luck" and my mate has been working overtime due to a few schools and collages having problems this past week.
