isnt there something about jpegs carrying viruses nowadays?
Yes and No. JPGS are just file formats like .zip. If your program that decodes the image is badly written ( Hence Micrsoft GDI+) then it can cause a problem. However if you use other programs such as photoshop or firefox to view those images then there are no problems. The code in those programs can handle bad data in a JPG.
What is comes down to is don't use Internet Explorer unless you absolutely have to.
