    I can't upload any photos to photo bucket, I have tried creating a new account, but it still doesn't work. I have been using photo bucket for a while now too. And I don't upload more than a few pics a month either.

    So this what I think happened...

    In the last 3 days I got a virus and couldn't open any programs at all that had my anti virus stuff on it, it would just reclose, even my Back-up Restore program would close out on me. Finally avg popped up with the location of the virus before freezing, so I restarted in safe mode and went to the location and deleted it. After that I ran AVG and Spy Bot Search Destroy, which led to some discoveries that I fixed as well. After that I did my first ever update after several months of owning my new latop.

    I believe that either the updated stopped my ability to upload, or there is still some remnants of this virus I had, I don't remember the name of the virus so I can't help you there, sorry.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi

    Today's malware is very hard to get rid of and generally it takes a few different kinds of applications to do it along with manually deleting files that the software doesn't catch. It can also mess around with your internet capabilities.

    To rule it out, you really should go through all steps in the READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide and post your logs in a new thread in the Malware forum. If you are still having issues after that with uploading, at least you are sure it's something other than malware causing it.

    Hi

    What Windows and Service Pack you using?

    Have you tried to give your temps and cookies a cleanout as those can at times stop internet traffic either too or from your PC, use CCLeaner but have no browser windows open at the time.

    If you use IE then try Opera and see if you can upload.

    If you have a software firewall, what is its name and disable it to test its not blocking you.

    Failing that, yes you may have reminents of malware still on your PC and the below should help.
