Astro images containing viruses on google images?!

[mylatestwhim]

Has anyone else experienced virus detections when viewing astro images through google images?

I seem to be getting loads through mainly astro images taken through specific scopes (I'm researching my first scope)

AVG has blocked rogue scanners and all maner of nasties.

Detection settings??

Confused...

Not just astro images, my daughter had same thing looking up wombles in google images ( don't ask )

Our corporate firewall added output from Google images to the blacklist (blocked) on Thursday. Not sure what is going on but I guess viruses.

I have knowm for a long time that JPG images can have viruses imbedded in then, not sure about other types, have always been careful about opening images on the net.
