For some reason JPG viruses haven't caught on, maybe because Outlook and IE were patched for this months before the exploit was shared publically, and trying to infect through a secondary program isn't very effective...or maybe the hobbyist type virus writers didn't want to mess with fire. I don't know. Anyway, it seems like it would be your choice what to do with TIFF, though personally, I would not bother scanning it unless I was made aware of JPG viruses spreading and morphing into other extensions.

Does anyone know a reason why .tiff should not be excluded from scanning? I was going to add .tiff to my don't scan list. Didn't see any know exploits using .tiff but thought it'd be a good idea to see what everyone here thought.
