And it also shows category where it was fetched from (history/bookmarks/google search)

See this reference for some more details:  http://www.sophos.com/en-us/press-office/press-releases/2002/06/va_perrun.aspx Now this problem can be easily mitigated by good image readers/scanners which only understand the image format and display it if it adheres to that standard and it doesn’t execute anything. So VIRUS is not the problem. If you carefully read the warning, it says to  “protect privacy”…  That’s interesting! What can a image from a 3rd party site do with privacy?
