Here we go, folks. The first JPEG virus has officially been spotted. It's apparently making the rounds through AIM, so be on the lookout.

"The instant messages read: 'Check out my profile, click GET INFO!' When visited, the Web site automatically sends malicious code embedded in the JPEG image to the computer, Ullrich said. Once infected with the code, the computer sends the same message to other contacts in the instant-messenger list."
