| 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 :D |

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 |
