hmmm does this mean you actually gave your e-mail address away?

If you gave you e-mail address away to a site you did not trust then what do you expect. This has nothing to do with the security of your desktop! I find it hard to believe that by simply browsing some images somehow the site has worked out your current e-mail address and started spamming it. More than likley you gave you e-mail away willingly and paid the pice :)
