This allows the program to be run through the e-mail without really being spotted by an anti-virus program. I get the same e-mails you all get. To tell you the truth, I believe that the virus programs now check for this type of program so I don't think you guys have to worry...but read up on them.

Secondly, as to why you both recieved them. People have programs that go through message boards and extract e-mail addresses from the boards. These are spiders of sorts. They run through the internet gather as many e-mails as they can....those e-mails are then all targeted. Every page that you post on has your e-mail in the source code of the page. This is becuase the e-mail icon sits there and points directly to your e-mail address.

There are 2 ways to solve this problem. One would be for me to take the e-mail link out of the code. I don't think that you all would like this. The other option would be to allow people to send e-mail THROUGH the message board so they do not get your actual e-mail address.

I just went ahead and implemented this feature. As of now, you are unable to find out someone's e-mail address just from clicking e-mail. If you want to send them an e-mail...you must be logged in and send it through the message board. It will put the sender's e-mail as the reply address so that when you reply it goes to them. Enjoy all

Neato, thx kanter.

Trust me it fails tests , and in alot of cases it can find the Virus but not remove it .... Im just telling you this as a warning , if you wanna use it then fine by me , but i wouldn't even touch it if i got paid to do so , i've tested alot of programs and McAfee will never fit in there ....

And remember.....I don't think KaZaA is as dangerous as a lot of people think. I'm not endorsing stealing, but you can always download any version of Anti-virus software that you want from there, check IT with a virus checker that you already have, and install it. I have heard it works good.... :oops:

If you had received them before chances are that you will receive them again. They have your e-mail...it's that simple. It sucks but there's not much you can do about it now. It's impossible for them to get your e-mail from the message boards now. Well, not impossible....just HIGHLY unlikely. That is unless you put it out there........peace
