When I'm using Waterfox, and looking at photobucket, this jigglie add pops up and opens a new window with a full window ad. I have gone over the pc and not found anything, and it only pops up with photobucket. I normally don't use PB because it won't display correctly on Opera. Lately it seems that most posters are using PB, so I can't see their pictures. Once in a while I will copy the link in a post and open it in WF. So for most posters, your pictures are not being seen.

I would really like to remove this adware. Any advice is appreciated.
 
I've got a paid copy of malwarebytes and update it every few days. I've scanned several times. Haven't found anything. Apparently, is piggybacks on the photopbucket data stream. malwarebytes should flag it but does not.
 
There are two *Free* programs that every computer should have and be used weekly. The first is "SuperAntiSpyWare", and the other is "rKill". The first one does what it's name implies: It downloads the latest spy/poop definitions and then scans and identifies and cleans your PC of all unwanted spy ware/poopware; and rKill gets all the rootbots that can be lurking in there waiting to hijack your computer. It first 'unmasks' it and then you use "SuperAntiSpyWare" to clean it.

I know nothing' 'bout birthin' babies, and sometimes even less about motor oil, but this I am absolutely sure about....

Get a better browser like Mozilla Firefox. Then install Adblock Plus as a browser add-on.

Ever since Malwarebytes went to a paid subscription service, the free version has not caught anything on my computer since the paid verson was implemented.

I am a fan of SuperAntiSpyware also. I recommend you install Version 6.0.1186

Thanks Triple_Se7en, Adblock Plus killed it. I use AVG free for AV. I've not had a problem in years, it's just that mozella seems to get compromised fairly easily. I still use Opera 12, even though it's getting old. The new Opera 20.x is much better in some ways, but I just don't like the look and feel. Maybe someday I will be forced to switch.
