Oh it gets better than that! I know of one person who got hit with a specially formated porno-spam message. When he opened it, the html message did an autorestart on his browser and <you guessed it> there he was browsing the porno site! What a convenient feature! Especially with you boss and co-workers in the vicinity!
This could be a good sting opperation. Send an anonymous e-mail message that points to a childporn site. The [add your jackbooted thug orginization here] kick in your door as soon as they get the signal that your machine has connected to the site and downloaded the images. Hmmmm I wonder if there is a way to get the browser to DL an image without displaying it. The pictures would be sitting in your cache without even knowing it. Probably not a big issue I would imagine that a jury would convict on website logs alone even if no pictures were found on the machine. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
