OK.

-- IE8 was installed with Vista when I bought the machine last month.
-- I'm using Live Mail
-- I'm using AVG 8 as my anti-virus
-- I'm using the standard Windows firewall
-- Norton may have been installed on the computer when I got it -- don't
remember; if it was, I uninstalled it immediately
-- Additionally, I've gone to Live Mail Tools,Options,Security and selected
Internet Zone for security zone and "Block images...." is unchecked
