Hi, I googled the virus and found this forum so thought it best to join. I'm also having the same problem with the image-bucket issue and I'm really concerned by it - the concept of some hacker having my password(s). I'm not ususally stupid when it comes to these links but I had a dumb moment.

Today, I even passed it onto another contact because while talking to a mate on msn, obviously, I sent him a youtube link and said something like "check out this song" so he assumed the link was safe but the image-bucket link actually fucking took over my youtube link and put its own in! The weird thing was, it still showed up as the normal link on my computer so it took us a minute to realise the problem.

The other thing I noticed is that it only happened with the first link I sent, after that, when I tried to send the link again, it worked fine (When I tried sending it again, I didn't know the previous one had been the ib link). I don't mean to waste your time but I just felt the need to put that story out there as it's probably something msn needs to take care of.

Basically I just joined up in the hope that someone has/will soon work out how to fix it. Sending annoying links to friends on msn is bad enough as it is but the thought of my whole online set-up now being at risk is really concerning me. From what you guys know, does this sound like a proper virus, or malware? Which do you reckon is more serious?

Hope someone can help me clear this up. Cheers.

Edit: I also scanned my machine with McAfee security scan and it found no threats to my computer but obviously something isn't write if links are being tampered with on msn and that sort of thing. Advice much welcomed and much needed. Thanks.
