I just scanned all 7 JPG files and none came up with any remnants
of virus code. The JPG format does not have ability to contain
usable viruses. Can you just image the security of the web if it
did. What anti virus product detected what JPG file as suspicious ?
If you got an attachment with my post to
Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com (file name "payback.com") then why
has no one else on this group received this attachemnt, including
myself ?
