There's a little article out today from AP on an announcement from McAfee Security about a "Perrun" virus, which has a component that infects Jpegs. The worry is not about this particular virus, because it needs an "extractor" component also present in the victim's hard drive. But they theorize that before long, other viruses will be designed to be totally coded into Jpegs, and like this one, invisible when you pull the image up. --- Luis
