[access-uk] Spam, Spyware or Virus?

Hello,
Recently three e-mails were sent to an old account of mine that only
receives e-mails. Each had nothing in the body of the message, and at the
bottom of each was a file name with a gif extension. These files do not
appear to be attachments: they are not in Eudora's Attachments folder, and
the file names were placed at the end of the e-mail, whereas the names of
attachments are found before the AVG certification messages.
I have searched for these files to delete them in Eudora's subfolders and
have not found them there. After a complete scan AVG tells me that there
is no virus on my system. I know that something was downloaded with these
e-mails because of the length of time taken by the downloads. So, does
anyone have any ideas as to waht these files might be, and where should I
look for them?
Eudora is set to convert received e-mails to plain text.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Chris
