davehicks:Well, it seems as if a bunch of you have downloaded and executed this this Program on your machines, and I salute you for your trusting nature. However, I have to say that you are are all NUTS!!!
I am sure that whoever created this slideshow was well meaning and honest and you have nothing to worry about. On the other hand, this could just as easily be a Trojan Horse program that eats your hard drive, spams your friends and contacts, or turns your computer into a zombie.
Never, Never, Never download and execute a program (.EXE such as this) from an unknown source. This is the computer equivalent of peeling some gum off the bottom of a baseball stadium bleacher and popping it into your mouth. Unhealthy and Gross!
Assuming this is not just a hidden surprise wrapped in a pretty package, the creator really should turn this into a Web Gallery, PowerPoint, or some other safe and secure package.

00scuba:Dave, ever heard of anti-virus software?? Also, the creator of this file is not an unknown source.
onbelaydave:It's posted at the other (D2D) site by "Peaches" a Pic.to exe. slide show from their trip to Yap/Palau a few weeks ago. You couldn't put all the "best" photos in the whole gallery section here to equal what she did on one trip HERE (32MB download but on a really fast server). Caution, viewing this will cause extreme "out of water syndrome" as well as "photo jealousy" !
