I was uploading a jpeg file to Photobucket when Microsoft Security Essentials caught the following trojan files. Exact moment upload was completed . . .
Trojan:JS/Redirector.BT
http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?name=Trojan%3aJS%2fRedirector.BT&threatid=2147631161 (http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?name=Trojan%3aJS%2fRedirector.BT&threatid=2147631161)
and
Exploit:Win32/Pdfjsc.CR
http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?name=Exploit%3aWin32%2fPdfjsc.CR&threatid=2147630381 (http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?name=Exploit%3aWin32%2fPdfjsc.CR&threatid=2147630381)
BEWARE - BE AWARE

You must be using a browser other than IE8 . . .
Looks like it may be a problem when using IE8. It keeps trying to access the IE folder in the registry.
I was previously using virus software from CA Inc. It wasn't catching some of these problems. . .
It seems that I am catching and removing more of these type of problems when I started using the Miscrosoft Security Essentials . . . And turned on the User Account Control.
I was also redirected last night when I accessed a photo gallery from a craigs list ad. . . Another trojan. . . TrojanDownloader:JS/Renos

You are correct Firefox 3.5.7
If you want to use IE then you will have to keep on the updates constantly I think. FF updates often also.
I use AVG free and haven't had a problem in a very long time.
Hmmm, I got nailed last week with a virus that pretty much shut me down. Somehow it got around my AVG protection. Oh, and I uploaded a photo to Photobucket as well, so you're not the only one. Sounds like Security Essentials did a better job.
As I previously mentioned, my anti-virus software from CA Inc. missed most of these problems. Membership is about $60.00 per year . . .
