What makes a link dangerous? Self sending email. [View all]

[siligut]

My Yahoo email sent out an email to everyone in my address book. I do not have those emails in my Sent file.

There was no subject and I have not opened the first email or the subsequent emails returned by the MAILER DAEMON.

However, one of my less tech savvy friends did open it and sent me back the link to show me what was in the email.

I right clicked to look at the properties, this is what I have. Does this provide any information?

I went to https://www.grc.com/default.htm and my computer is well protected, I did a complete scan and it found nothing.

The only thing I can think of is that a friend who works in a high level position at the Los Alamos labs, sent me an email in the morning, which of course I opened. There was no link in that email.

Any ideas?
