With the recent vulnerabilities discovered in the decoding of a couple of different types of graphic files (PNG, I think, and maybe JPG), the "load an image from a foreign server" that used to be a simple "web bug" privacy exposure can now be a direct, executable-code-injection, take over your system vulnerability.
TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ ================= Arrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! I just got AOL's version with virus protection. But it seems everyone, including you, are saying there is really no way to totally avoid adware (etc.) Right? Certainly been having tons of it over the last several months (yeah, went to geeks and got some protection and now periodically scan the computer). I just can't believe how bad it's gotten over the last several years. It's incredible. Lurking now even in graphic files! I hate the Internet. When I don't love it. Doe aka Marnie
