    What anti virus are you using?
    I recommend you download Avast! Home edition
    http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
    And do a Boot time scan, You should also scan for spyware in safe mode, with Ad-Aware SE personal, Spybot S&D, or something (to get into safe mode press f8 a couple of times when you start up your computer, and select safe mode)

    You're wrong, it can.

    It's a link that looks like you open a picture because it's called name.jpeg or .png... but when you click on the link you get a Virus.

    My friend had the same problem..use a good Virus Scanner.

    Yes it can. Sometimes, the .exe is injected into a picture like a .bmp.

    It sounds weird but it's true. And this has happened to me as well but, I just scanned in safe mode, deleted and everything was fine then.

    It isn't spam. I'm just saying that it can be injected into a .bmp with an .exe.

    What you're doing now by posting that is called spamming. Could've also told me in PM which wouldn't be spam.
