Topic: Is it okay to accept a .jpg file over skype? (Read 1800 times)
As everyone said above I am confirming it is a rare virus that will set your computer on fire. Do not download.
Could it be a virus or malware? Or is it not possible? Ty.
Possible, never receive files from unknown people and better before opening scan them.
I scanned it with avira. Weird thing is that avira scanned 2 files. I only received 1 file.
There could be a .rar hidden behind that unzips itself, just watch.
How do i make sure that is not the case?

Do you want a virus?
Because that is how you get viruses!
In other words it is very much not okay to open a jpg file received from skype from a stranger. Because that is how you get viruses!
Correction: it is very much not okay to open any file received from skype from anyone.
Use other means, like email or sharing services.
yes, but first make sure that THAT PERSON sent the file. Many skype viruses are distributed in the friendlist without those person knowing!

Absolutely not, as many other said it a bad idea to receive any kinda unknown files it could be malicious and spreads to your contact list.

It would be rare that a virus would be found in a image file.
Yeah although such viruses are rather more rare than others, you should not accept files from strangers. He can just upload the image online (to a known website) and show you it via link if he has to.Scanning does not always prevent viruses, nor does AV software detect a lot of personal (made) viruses.

There are ways to make a .exe appear as a .jpg and there were exploits where skype didn't detect this.
Just google: jpg virus skype
you will finds million of results.

Could it be a virus or malware? Or is it not possible? Ty.
This is very much possible. I would advise against it unless you know and trust the person sending the picture. Even then, ask if the person sent it or a virus that infested his system. I have had multiple friends send me files that they didn't send.

Or if you want your bitcoin stolen as this is something else that can happen. Because that is how you get viruses!
If you were to use skype and open the pic in a VM then you may be okay though.

Just curious...Who is sending you a jpg that you don't know on Skype...?
Seems like a rather odd request?
I would probably not deal with it if you are unsure who the sender is..
