Since you did download something, then it is possible. Did you find the size of the images to be a bit on the large size? It's possible to embed applications with other files inside the meta data, although unlikely. This application could have pulled information from your address book and sent it to another website.
This is one of the oldest tricks in the book, and any respectable security suite would have caught this - if it is the case. My gut says it is not. Just as a point of reference, I couldn't speak less German, but I do get junk in just about every language - German included. The more likely possibility is your address was harvested from a spider somewhere - merely in coincidence to your visiting this site. Maybe your personal webpage, another forum somewhere, anything. On your P.S., again it means nothing. Spam doesn't stop. Once your address has been found, it's nearly impossible to stop it. Images loaded in spam messages can be used to confirm your e-mail address, and only make it more valuable. This is just an example. I stand by my original diagnosis: it's all unrelated. -- Thom McGrath, <http://www.thezaz.com/> "You don't need eyes to see, you need vision" - Maxi Jazz in "Reverence" by Faithless On Apr 30, 2007, at 3:28 AM, Emile Schwarz wrote: > Any idea ? _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
