This has really alarmed me - this virus can attach/embed itself within
image files??

Or is it only that it may pick an image file to send itself along with,
but the virus itself is still an executable of some sort and will also
be attached to the mail?

I don't currently have a virus checker - should I be being wary of
opening jpeg's too now?

Thanks,
Karen
