It is very important that you understand how online hackers can embed malicious code to run in image backgrounds. When images are automatically downloaded in email messages, this gives hackers an opportunity to automatically run malicious code in the background. It is highly recommended that you do not load images automatically for emails you receive and only load images from senders you recognize/trust.
The advantages of blocking automatic picture downloads include the following
- Helps you avoid viewing potentially offensive material (when external content is linked to the message).
- Helps to keep malicious code from damaging the data on your computer.
- If you are on a low-bandwidth connection, blocking allows you to decide whether a particular image warrants the time and bandwidth that are required for downloading it.
