I've had exactly the same virus and never been anywhere near photo-bucket but I had just finished doing a defrag of the hard-drive then went on line and the virus popped up almost immediately and killed my machine - only got rid of rid of it by going into safe mode and doing a restore :o

I use McAffee and Avira Antivir. Last Sunday Avira detected and quarantined:
Detection
"Contains suspicious code HEUR/PDF.Obfuscated"

Not had an issue before this.  :-/

As well as doing a Spybot scan, download and run Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/) - this should shift it.  If not download & run HijackThis and save a logfile (http://download.cnet.com/Trend-Micro-HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html)  Quite happy for you to PM or email me the log file for analysis if that helps.
