Use common sense above all else.right doesn't always work but its better than a shot in the dark and installing something that you have no clue about, say from public trackers etc...oh and kevin Q & A for ya:??? Can a virus "hide" in a GIF or JPEG file?The simple answer is "no". The complete answer is more complex.GIF and JPEG (.JPG) files contain compressed graphical information.Every now and then, rumors arise that is possible to infect those fileswith a virus in such a way, that it will spread when you display one ofthese images. This is technically impossible--no part of the GIF orJPEG format contains code that is executed by the viewer program.It *is* possible to use the least significant bit of the colorinformation for each pixel in GIF files to store additional information,without visibly altering the quality of the picture contained in thefile. This is called "steganography" and is sometimes used to transmitsecretly encrypted messages. Since a virus is nothing more thaninformation, it is possible to "encode" it into a GIF file and transmitit this way. However, the recipients must be aware that the GIF filecontains such hidden information and take some deliberate steps toextract it--it cannot happen against their will.food for thoughtGunsguy Edited September 19, 2008 by gunsguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Likewise with stuff like .mp3 etc. - so difficult to incode anything worthwhile into because of the file format. My faith in humanity, gone Just get a top notch Virus Scanner tbvh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The .gif data itself will not harm you, but that isn't the point of using the .gif data as a container. You use it as a container to hide it, then break the virus free somewhere on a computer you don't care about. In other words, it's not the intention to release the gif and have the gif itself spread it... its to use the gif as a safe temporary container. I was just curious if any of the virus detectors could detect that- apparently not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
