Hi here is a copy of an E-mail my Brother sent me today. If you havn't already seen this please look into it read it you'll see why....... ------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Dave - Since you guys are heavily into graphic-y stuff, I thought this would be of interest to you... Apparently, there's a new virus going around that infects JPEG files. It apparently unpacks and dumps it's own executable file onto the hard disk, which is contained as some sort of appendage to the main file. It also modifies the registry to enable it to automatically run next time that an infected file is detected, and also so that it can infect other files... Doesn't look like it's a hoax, so be careful of any JPEGs you get from the internet, etc, in the future... I guess it was only a matter of time before some fool exploited picture files, somehow. Check out this link for more information. http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99522 The only good thing at the moment is that it doesn't appear to carry a dangerous payload, being a proof of concept, but I guess it's only a matter of time. Just thought I'd let you guys know, in case you haven't seen it on your own! Andy ----------------------------------------------------- see what i mean Dave
