Not for long, perhaps. It was on the Symantec page where I read that
someone has successfully delivered a worm in a .jpg file. This
particular virus had no malicious code and another component must have
been loaded to an unsuspecting system for it to work, but this should be
a concern and virus software must be kept up to date. See the story here
below.
