Help - rude photos on adobe :(

bungalowbill

AVG scans my e-mail. They appear when I open the jpegs attached to certain e-mails. The first jpeg is the correct one and then the others are !!!!!!. There are a different set of photos for each e-mail that has a jpeg attached. And they weren't there before! In other words, if I open an e-mail from December, the extras are now there, whereas they weren't at the time.

The jpegs open via adobe photoshop by default, and as you click through the images, they get worse

Have done all my updates, now going to do spyware S&D

It sounds like you received an email with an image.

when you opened up the image, (it saves this to your temporary internet cache files) and you have browsed through images from the internet cache.

so someone has tried to clear internet history but the images are still there!

Hi

Either

You go to Tools in the internet explorer's page then Internet options then click on Delete files then check the box of 'Delete all offline content' then click Ok

Or

Click the Start menu then All programs then Acessories then System tools the Disk clean up then Ok then Ok then Yes

This should sort it for you, but, let us know how you get on.

Hooray they've gone.

Did cleanup and delete etc and now the're not attached anymore. I do this regularly anyway...but I was presuming they'd come in on the e-mail so I didn't think about cookies etc

and so now I need the answer to a crucial question...Did they come in because they were on the pc of the person send ing the last e-mail I got...or has someone here done something they shouldn't?

Please can I have an honest answer if poss because I need to make sure it doesn't happen again

Thanks ever so much thunderbird for understanding the problem

Who else uses that computer?

Well either someone has been looking at *ahem* educational *ahem* websites :embarasse or they've been sent naughty pictures in emails (either in spam emails or in emails from friends).

I second the two answers above.

Give whoever caused it the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks guys. If I presume it came in via e-mail attachment, is there anything other than AVG that would help to prevent this happening again?

If you want to prevent it from coming via e-mail, then you need to ask whoever sent them not to send them again OR by not opening e-mails from the offending sender.

You might be able to block the website it is coming from by using something like parental lock, in which, you might be able to permit accessing certain websites than others.

I don't know how effective 'Parental control' software are in preventing this kind of thing from happening.

EDIT: You can go to Internet option then click on Content then Enable then choose the level you want then Apply and see if it works for you.

P.S. If it was a young person who accessed these images, then you need to talk to them about it and may be educate them about the this type of content. However, if it was an adult, you should ask them not to acess this type of images on your computer.

Good luck
