As far as I've understood, when IE engine encounters an image file, it will
try to autodetect what kind of file it is - however, it won't stop at image
types, but will check for other types, too, and if it recognizes the file as
executable, it will try to run it.

There are only two problems with people. One is that they don't think. The
other is that they do.
