This may not be a problem, but ...
I was viewing the board but not logged in. I wanted to see a photo that was posted; it was one with a "paper clip" icon that you click on. Because I wasn't logged in I wasn't able to view it, but there was an option to log in to see the photo. I did that, and to my surprise, the photo opened in my own software, Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Or rather, it appeared to download into the picture viewer.
Well, I didn't really want this photo to have downloaded to my computer -- I've just recently apparentlyl contracted a virus downloading something -- and so I tried to delete the photo from within the viewer by clicking on the "X" for delete. That deleted the picture itself, but then there was a succession of icons, banners, that I tried to delete one by one, but every time I deleted one another one would pop up. I finally gave up, then spent 20 minutes searching on my computer to try to see where these items had downloaded to. I wasn't able to find that out.
Does anyone know what all downloaded to my computer when I viewed/downloaded the photo, and where it might have gone to in my system?
Can this be avoided in the future - i.e., just viewing a photo rather than downloading it?
