:rotfl::)could anyone explain this to me-please im a bit of a novice when it comes to computers.

husband sent an email to dad's computer, with an attatchment photograph of the kids. He did'nt show me at the time he sent it, so I looked at it later after it was sent. when you open the attatchment, a box pops up saying 'a website wants to open web content using this program on your computer' . suppose it's pretty self explainitary but im still baffled.! if you look at the photo, and then click 'next' in the top right hand corner, you get lots of other photo's aswell..none of which are our own! There's pictures of lots of people from our village, some I know, others I just recognise the face! There's odd random pictures (eg a stock photo of a ladies shoe) and theres some quite horrible pornography:eek:there's also a photo from the media which is currently appearing on our internet provider's home page. There's also a picture of one of my friends children sat next to the window inside an aeroplane...the friend is on my facebook friend list..but this particular picture is'nt on facebook! can anyone explain to me how this works? i find it quite scary, are these pics on my computer now?
many thanks

I don't think you're going to like (all of) this explanation!

It sounds as if it will only happen on your PC. You are opening an attachment and the PC is choosing a default option to open the photo. Since it's likely to be Nero or similar, it will open it as a slideshow. Because this photo was being emailed, it is likely that a temporary version was created on your computer. It is the temp version that the default program is opening.

Because it defaults to a slideshow / catalogue format, it will also show the other photos in that same temp folder. The photos of locals is likely from a newspaper website or local forum that someone has visited on the PC. The photo of the friend's child from facebook.... it's likely that there was a thumbnail image somewhere on their page, or in the notifications bar and this has been stored on your PC when you have viewed their profile. Ladies shoe.....probably from shopping website of some sort, or might just have been a random advert on facebook etc. As for the pr0n....well someone had to view the page for those to be stored as well.

Use the tools option from the toolbar in your browser, and delete all temp files & cookies, along with history. that will at least remove the temp files so that no-one else finds them!
