The Tibs Trojan has used steganographic techiques. However a peer utility is needed to
extract the executable Trojan from the JPEG.

Graphics in themselves can NOT be viruses.

Sending the graphic back to yourself is NOT a good test.

Please submit a sample of this suspect graphic to Virus Total --
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
The submission will then be tested against many different AV vendor's scanners.
That will give you an idea what it is and who recognizes it. In addition, unless told
otherwise, Virus Total will provide the sample to all participating vendors.

You can also submit a suspect, one at a time, via the following email URL...
mailto:[email protected]?subject=SCAN

When you get the report, please post back the exact results.
