[jdjlist] RE: got a message saying I sent a virus....

Hi, I didn't even get the original posting with the .JPG attachment and I can't find it in my JDJLIST-subdirectory. ( I usually examine/scan the attachments of postings - just for "fun" ; BTW: the attached visit-cards *.vcf sometimes had syntax errors in them )   Years ago I had a weird experience with a .jpg or .gif file ( not ".jpg.exe" or ".gif.exe" ! ) that I opened via Explorer : the "index.htm" page that had been stored on the same disk was automatically opened - perhaps via an internal link-option in newer JPG/GIF image file formats. At that time I thought of a wrongly interpretated mouse-click , but as I listen to Tims remarks I begin to believe that there might be additional content in newer JPEG/GIF files. As most of us know : besides e.g. "GIF97" there are several different/newer formats and with the huge popularity of the .JPG file format there might be several more "active" newer ones as well that are known (only) to the anti-virus software experts and their products.   sincerely, U.
