Went on there to view the Photocomp entries and for some reason it doesn't like Firefox, so I used a plug-in to open the page in IE. Known malware 'Windows Command Processor' is now attempting to borg my system...

Erm, really? Because I just tested this using Firefox on this work PC and it loaded the images just fine.

Not working here, also doesn't work on any of my phone browsers currently. But either way, don't let sh1tty IE open Photobucket would be my advice.

Perhaps it was something to do with the plugin you downloaded?
Why use a plugin to open the link in IE anyway? Just copy the link and paste into IE.

No, the plug-in has always worked fine. The point of the plug-in is that instead of copying and pasting you push one button and it opens that particular page in IE.

I've found that photo bucket doesn't always work if cookies are disabled

I thought that initially but none of my browsers are set like that.

Photobucket works fine with Firefox for me. Having said that, I'm verging on dumping Firefox again until they finally fix that memory leak.

The number of script things NoScript flags up on the photobucket site is somewhat alarming. It's not always that easy to tell which ones it actually needs to get it to work either.

About a year ago I told NS not to run on PB, still didn't work for me. Then it came back, now it doesn't work again. Don't miss it, terrible site.
