I think you can't get any kind of trojan or viruses or anything else on a .jpg file ...

The picture may have a virus encoded into it, but it cannot be 'activated', unless other programs reads the encode and delibately run the code.

( Note, I said "read the encode" not read the entire file as a picture data! )

Doh! Yeah I have tripped up in difference between trojans and viruses. Sorry.

*EDIT* But of course, Trojans has same ability to activate from JPG files as viruses as discribed by myself in last post.
