Just experienced where IE stopped working, 2 x. Plus on hotmail, when you respond to a message it for some reason uploads and attaches a whole stack of pictures (.gif) - not mine, and also all the same. Remains weird. I had all this days ago as well. Can't figure it.

Do you recognise the gifs ?  Could you attach one to the post or e-mail it to me if you wish

Boy, do I appreciate your patience. How would I email to you? Is there some avast address for you? Perhaps relevant still, I tried to install flashplayer from the weblink you provided. Their download manager seemed to get hung up - and I simply abandoned. But earlier I noticed that avast appeared suspicious of the download and did something with sandbox (I since changed the sandbox setting to 'ask'). I tried again but then I got that download manager hang-up issue and abandoned. Any relevance you think? Thanks again.

Got the address and sent my mail. Thanks very much for making the address available. Yes, I remember that during a scan it slowed my machine down to something snail like. Thanks.

Looks like live mail to me? Does the above provide the info you need?

Do you get your mail from the site or do you use the windows live mail from your computer ?

The reason I ask is that the gifs are for facebook/twitter/bing/rss etc... and appear as a type of banner on your e-mails

I believe the site, my first screen is "http log-in live etc etc". Hope that makes sense. Thanks

OK could you download windows live  to your system and install the mail element

http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials?os=other

Then collect your mail using that and see if you get the same occurence

Yes, unfortunately no change. But I can click these images away, can live with it  - unless these create some of the earlier temp files? No repeat of IE problem thus far today. Thanks.

Could you go to options and under the signature tab ensure that it is not set
