This thread from a couple of days ago set off my symantec:
(Cliche posts that annoy you)
message_topic.aspx?topic=568906
It was something like trojan found in "thread sucks.jpg" and symantec easily deleted it from the cache or whatever.
I haven't been back to that thread since to see if it was just that thread though... 6/18/2009 8:20:18 AM |

JPGs and probably other formats can contain exploit code in the form of buffer overflows -- maybe the image really is a virus  6/18/2009 2:31:12 PM |

The JPEG won't do anything to you. It has some HTML/JS code appended to the end of it that won't be read by your image handler. Basically someone whose computer was infected corrupted the image and then the person posted it without knowing that it had been altered. 6/18/2009 5:50:27 PM |
