Block Images and External Objects View email faster by blocking images and other objects unless authorized to display blocks images from loading or any external code that may be sent along with the email to display the message faster. Should I block images from being displayed in the email? Images consume a lot of system resources while loading, increasing the time it takes for a message to display. Blocking images reduces the load time. Moreover, images can carry malicious code that can be installed on your computer without your knowledge. This code can relay information about your email address, which may result in more spam in your mailbox. By preventing these images from loading until you are confident of the source, you may prevent spammers from sending you unsolicited email. How do I enable or disable the Block Images and External Objects option? - Sign into the NetZero Message Center.
- Click on Options and select Messages.
- In the Reading section, check the box View email faster by blocking images and other objects unless authorized to display.
- Click Save.
NOTE:When the images are blocked, you'll see an External Images Blocked message in the email. To see the images click on "Click here to display" next to the External Images Blocked box. Why are certain images not blocked? NetZero does not prevent images from loading if they are from United Online or from any of our advertising partners. You can be assured that these images are free from any malicious code and will not harm your computer in any way.
