Not knowing much about computers, viruses, etc., I'm not sure what to do. I have tons of pics on Photobucket and recently I haven't been able to log on to it. My pictures come up, but I can't upload any new ones. It just keeps telling me to sign in.....even though I'm signed in. Today, I clicked on one of my pictures, just to see if I could transfer any of them, and a warning about a malicious website came up. Is there any way of fixing this? I could go through my millions of pictures I have stored and backed-up on the computer, but these were my favs and it would take me hours to find them again. Any suggestions?
I know this sounds stupid, and I don't know the right terminology, but I've noticed when I try to upload a new picture, down in the bottom left corner, it goes crazy, going through tons of different "addresses". I finally just get out of it all. Whenever I've seen something like this before, it's usually not a good sign.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I haven't had the Malicious spyware part but PB has gotten very bad. And very slow.
