HELP
I have recently been receiving and forwarding emails with JPG attachments and it was brought to my notice that if you click on the slide show there are other pics attached.
"Why are you worried?" I hear you all ask.
Some of these pics are avatars and headers from this site!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know why this happens - Do I have anything to worry about (virus wise aswell as SH wise)?
Look forward to your replies
Thanx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I will hazard a guess that you mean "receiving and forwarded" biggrin
Can you send the details to please, in particular the e-mail addresses that they came from.

My mate showed me the same on his.......he didn't know why and neither did I.
I have been wondering what my boss has been thinking when I have sent work pictures in if these are attached as well :shock: .
I would like to know why it does this as well.........and it is not just a SH thing. His problem is from his brother in Germany when sending jpegs to my mate......on the slide show can be attached 20+ pics what his brother has been viewing..........we now know what his brother views :twisted:

These emails have been received from people at work and I have been sending them on to friends and family. Most of the time, before I receive them, they have been forwarded several times.

What's happening is when you open the pic it stores it in the temporary internet files folder which also holds images from the websites you've been browsing so you don't have to download them everytime. When you do a slideshow it just cycles through these, they are not sent out with the picture.

PS where is the temporary internet folder
Windows Xp with multiple profiles:
Cbiggrinocuments and SettingsPROFILE NAME GOES HERELocal SettingsTemporary Internet Files
This is unless they have personally changed the area it goes to.
procedure for Delete internet temporary files
open your browser
go to tool bar at the top of the screen
select tools
internet options
then delete temporary internet files
you should regularly delete these files as they can take up a tremendous amount of space on your hard drive and slow your machine down one drawback is sometimes your access passwords are stored in this area and will not automatically and initiate when required,,, :cry:

Do you have a profile with multiple pics in your briefcase?
The reason I ask is that I recently sent an email with an attachment from my address while logged in to the messenger. The file was from my briefcase and it sent the whole slideshow. I was able to duplicate the event several times: It only happened on email, only happened when I was logged in to the messenger, and has not recurred since I deleted the briefcase.

Sounds to me like some kind of virus if E-Mails are send or forwarded without you initiating it

Is this thread in English ?
Hi,
In itself this is nothing to worry about and is likely to be ralated to settings on your computer. When an email is sent, some mail systems do not display the header logo, but store it as just another image attachment.
If you have your mailbox set to HTML and "view images" then you should not have this problem (if I have understood it corectly) although you have a slightly less secure mail system. I presume you have ant-virus/ anti-spyware programes running?
