Thanks everyone, for your care
We don't have yahoo & we run a Linux OS, which USUALLY doesn't get viruses from windows sites.

We have a suspicion about who might have done this. We think it might have been a malicious act by someone we know quite well who is bi-polar. Maybe he has gone into manic phase, we had to cut all contact with him some months ago.
When we went to check the source of the picture, we discovered that one of our photobuckets (our business & personal one naturally) had a sign on it saying it's security had been compromised & there are only 6 pics left in it of hundreds. They said it was a general problem with photobucket, so CHECK people. Our other photobucket has not been compromised.
If he was really bored on xmas day & manic, it is possible he guessed the passy to our personal photobucket, but the message from photobucket did say they had been having security problems in general.

We did report to the "tagged" site that we had not started the account & that we were extremely unhappy about our photo being placed there by someone, but the damage is done really

We can't get that info back from anyone who might happen to have downloaded it

some of the emails were fairly disgusting, but we doubt anyone would recognize us now from that pic, which is around 3 years old,

we did wonder if our ISP might take action if we reported it, what do you think ?
after all someone used our paid email addy to sign up (how would they know the password for that ?)
& obviously our net security has been breached

all accounts associated with PC seem secure, we don't want anyone to think that we think PC is the source of this , we don't.
