I was skeptical that there would be viruses in non-executable data files, but sure enough, looks like there are buffer overrun exploits for all sort of images on M$ platforms: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-1048 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0566 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-028.mspx Sorry, I don't know if clamav scans them, but it does look like there is definitely a potential for abuse there.
