There is some funny business going on if you try to save the image to a
file. You get a pic2.html.cgi.html file that gives the image if you
double click it. However you also get an uninvited guest directory that
contains goodies such as ads.html, show_ads.js, and a logo. If you view
the image file, it is a bit washed out. If you remove the funny
directory, it also removes the image file. I deleted all of this mess
and ran virus and adware scans to make certain the application had not
given me some other uninvited files. I was able to capture the image
fairly well from the screen using Gadwin PrintScreen. I am not going to
return to this site and try to find out exactly what it is doing. I
don't trust it after finding that uninvited directory.
