Again JPG is not just an ext. its also a compression.. Uuencoding basicly just the editors and viewers allow you to decode the uuencoder.. Well I do not know how it happens.. But I have seen it. I made sure I was looking at ext's I turn them on when I am trying to find a little thing like a virus. Plus I do not like how windows hides known ext. it just plain bugs(pun intended) me.. I will try to find more info on this.. -----Original Message----- From: neil barnes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 4:21 AM To: Libretto Subject: RE: [LIB] List problem?

AFAIK there's nowhere in a jpg file structure to carry executables, or even any quantity of extra data. This is not to say of course that just because it *says* it's a jpg that it really is, or that the data enclosed is really a picture...but it won't execute itself, it will just fail to be opened by the graphics software. I also thought that most IRC viruses were script viruses? Maybe I'm behind the times :) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
