A recent VirusScan log showed that VirusScan found a JPG file on my web
site infected with Exploit-ANIfile.c (Trojan). I read the Microsoft
security bulletin, the info on the McAfee site, and searched the net -
I can find no mention of this virus infecting JPG files. Can anybody
point me to documentation that mentions this virus infecting JPG files?
Thanks for your assistance.

"This is a very serious vulnerability that is almost certain to be
exploited on a wide-scale basis," ZERT member Randy Abrams said in an
emailed statement. "If the vulnerability were limited to animated
cursors alone it would not be as serious, but there are reports of .jpg
files, which are very commonly used in Web pages, being exploited as
well.":
