This was on yesterday under a different sender with subject, "My ....
Neighbour Tanning". I got the following from posts about that one: note
that the link refers to .scr: that's a Script file which will possibly
unleash a virus. No pictures here.

Brian,

Firstly "it" the message does not contain a virus - but it has a link to a
site that if you downloaded and executed the file, would infect you with a
virus.
Secondly we are removing these - but that process is not helped by people
replying to these SPAM posts.
