Hugh, there is no way you got spam from the Flickr people. You talk about downloading a program, but you don’t need to download any program to use Flickr.

Hugh: point your browser to this address: http://flickr.com/profile_privacy.gne at once and go over your privacy settings. You must have already gone through this screen during the sign-up process. By default, only your contacts can see your e-mail address. If you've set that to "Anyone", then chances are your e-mail address got harvested by a spam crawler bot. Beyond that, I don't see any other way you could have gotten spam.

I downloaded the program and logged in for an account. I have since been getting e-mail from some site on how to make a fortune in on-line marketing.

This site was the only site that I used a particular handle.
I have not yet used my account with fllickr.

Have you heard of this happening to anyone else?

I am a long time Mac user and very seldom get spam.
