Warning About Tranceaddict E-mail

As im sure most of you know theres a tranceaddict.net e-mail thingy set up, iv used this for a while and found it to be cool. Thing is i used to have a pc and noticed i was getting alot of junk, anyways i recently changed to a mac and iv found that every time you go onto the tranceaddict.net e-mail box a small .exe file is automaticly downloaded onto your computer, this dosent affect me becouse im a mac but if your on a pc it will cause you to get alot of un wanted pop-ups. anyways just htought that i would give the warning to you peops

Bullshit.

Everyone.net is not shady like that, nor is what you're saying possible - EXEs are not automatically downloaded & executed upon browsing a page.

i have to say, the banners and what not are pure evil. i accidentally clicked one and it put me into a endless loop of prompting me to DL loads of crappy apps that i didnt want. so i've switched to gmail until something better comes along.

the file could be coming from anywhere on the net...and generally email clients are set to automatically dl files by the user, not by default|

I've seen that happening to me before, it's weird. Not on TA mail because I don't use it, but sometimes my browser just downloads some exe file for no reason.

your sig sayx "PROUD MEMBER OF THE ANTI IDIOTS Alliance" yet you are a idiot, a exe file can only be saved to a users disk only if the user clicks yes or ok... it wont "automaticly" download
