i opened a *.jpg attachement the other night, and since then my pc freezes at the desktop screen. occasionally it doesn't freeze at first. i tried installing norton, but the install halted halfway through.
q1: is it possible to get a virus or keylogger, etc. from a jpg file?

1: No, you can't get a virus from a jpeg, gif or bitmap. Like Wiccan said, it might have been something like lesbo.jpg.exe. Always make sure you can see the whole filename.
If you want it examined, you can send it to me.
2: Send it to me, and I'll find out what the problem is.

Yeah, it seems like he's schitzophrenic (sp?) or something. He'll go and say one thing, then come back and say another.
First he says "I'm naturally left handed, but my parents made me use my right hand"
Then he tells himself "Haha, you're so screwed up, I'm right handed"
So does that mean that we really have 3 admins? (Taco, Taco's alternate personality, and Xenn) :]

Are you sure it wasn't like a ***.jpg.exe file?
