Virus in image files ?

     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.
