Any good photo albums?

I don't know if they exist but does anyone know of a site where l can store some of my photographs, that's fairly easy to use and access?

My computer has been infected by something called Anti Virus 2009. It's basically a nasty thing trying to sell me something to get rid of the virus it's given me. I was just unlucky. I clicked on a link from Google News, and on searching about it lots of people have been similarly unlucky.

My pc is going to be wiped and then have Windows put back on.

Most things l'll be able to remember, and there's nothing l'll miss except some of my photographs. I just wondered if there's an online album l could keep my photos in until after the pc is wiped on Tuesday?

I hope this rambling makes sense.

Thanks.

Most people dont realise how valuable the pictures on their pc are. Something like flickr protects you against hardware and software and even catastrophic stuff like fires. Your memories and data is stored away from home.

Thanks very much.

All safely stored away, and easy enough for even me to use.

Like you say, it seems much safer than just storing them on your pc, and it's somewhere I'll now store all my photographs.

Posted via Mobile Deviceyou can even install a small program so it adds an option to the context menu(right click) for "send to Flickr" makes it dead easy. I have a similar client on my phone.
