Come on guys, read between the lines - tech sector is not doing well, and PR machine is desperately trying to come up with cr@p to feed to the general public. Mcafee, Symantec and others need to keep selling their stuff and past couple 'virus' warnings are getting really overblown. JPG files are chunks of data, just data and nothing but data. There's nothing in them that is executable code. When an image viewer encounters a JPG file, it tries to display it - not run it. This whole press release is the same as calling MS Outlook a virus, since some emails may come with a virus attachment, or calling MS Word a big virus, since some documents can have a malicious macro. Please let's discuss instead more evil viruses like the '25th-frame effect virus' and others.....
