My gmail has been invaded by spammers (very explicit porno, bs money offers... the whole nine yards) and it happened shortly after installing this on my MBP. I'm guessing it's due to something I did, but just in case, anybody else have the same coincidence?
I have not any any issues after downloading this image. But, I think Gmail has changed their spam filters recently, because about 3 months ago I started getting flooded with the same kinds of spam you are complaining about. It’s so bad I considered closing my Gmail account. Now I just filter all spam directly to the trash and try not to look at the trash again.
