HALP !!!!!

There's a Porn spam in another thread here.

I reported it but now aren't the images somewhere on the hard drive?

Will deleting recenty viewed pages under internet options clear this garbage?

This is a big-deal, this was hard-core stuff.

If it's on my system I don't even know how much trouble I could be in.

No, you're ok, as long as you didn't click the images and go to their websites.

Also even if the thread URL is in your history, the GwG mods delete them in a matter of seconds/minutes, so if you even try to go back to the web page with the images on it, it will say ''Invalid Thread Specified'' cause it's gone.

Edit: On a side note I basically report like 2 porn spam threads a day in OT, I call it Offtopic & Absurd & Pron, heh.

Thanks.

I didn't CLICK on anything but the post had to have dozens of images.

So that screen isn't saved?

Thank God!

Dude you need to chill, like Brianna said as long as you didnt click the images everything should be fine. You should regulary clear your cookies and files from your browser anyway, this will avoid any problems or dodgey cookies you might pick up from sites.

I'm at work - that's why i freaked.

There is zero-tolerance when it comes to that kind of stuff.

If the images displayed on your screen, then they were indeed loaded onto the computer in the browser cache. You must clear the cache to remove them. How you do that varies depending on the browser you use.

Judging from this comment, I'll assume you use Internet Explorer, and that should indeed clear the cache.

Yes it should. Delete also the cookies (but that would mean having to retype your login/password on GWG for example).

If you want a brilliant application for clearing information from your Windows comp, use CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com

UGh . . .

I'm off for two days.

I hit clear pages not cookies.

Not allowed to install Anything - I don't even allow plug-ins to upgrade while I'm logged on.

No reason at all to worry about it.

As mentioned, just clear your cache. CCleaner can be used from a flash drive if you have one.

If you're not allowed to install anything then I suggest deleting the Temporary Internet Files from the system.
