Temporarily disable your McAfee security center, privacy features. It did it for me!

Sometimes these security and spam blocking tools can be a cure that is worse then the disease.

The reason the security settings will block embedded links (images) on a web page is because some sites will harvest IP addresses and other info that way. Whenever you view an image that resides on a remote server, you are actually accessing that server from your home computer. So that means your local machine's information is available to that server and can be harvested for the spam engines.

To give you an example of what I mean, if you view a thread on this site and someone has posted a photograph that actually resides on spammers.com, as soon as you view the thread, your browser makes a call to spammers.com in order to retrieve that image. Doesn't matter that you were only viewing the thread here on this site, you also made a call to that server that spammers.com resides on as well.

This appears to be one of the major ways that spammers operate via spam emails. Notice the catchy titles? All they want you to do is to open the email to look.

Jebuscreeps... So what are people to do? Run their antivirus and antispyware software right after reading a thread?
