Question: Girlfriend sent me some photos from her vacation via YIM (yahoo instant messenger), she says they are workable. I get a black screen for a second and then it goes back down, but nothing else. |

Exe files are not picture files, and if this is by some chance someone you dont know very well then you should not have ran those files. Ive seen a trick similar to this were hackers send guys or girls photo files that have an exe extension. Example, my photo.exe and what they are really doing is sending them a trojan or similar. So a exe file is not a picture file its a windows installer file. I would be running some spyware and virus scans on your computer if i where you. Before you try anything you should think about doing a free scan for .exe related registry errors. This will ensure your computer is ready to precede. |
