    Took 4 photos today with my Desire HD, downloaded photo to recently formatted PC running Windows 7 with Microsoft Security Essentials installed, generally update software every other day
    Resized the image using Image Resizer Powertoy Clone for Windows (Brice Lambson)
    As I was resising the images Microsoft Security Essentials informed me that one of the mages IMAG0307 (Medium).jpg as a serious threat
    Exploit:Win32/MS04028!jpeg
    http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?name=Exploit%3aWin32%2fMS04028!jpeg&threatid=2147572455

    Trying to fathom out if it is a false threat, if the problem is with the PC or im my HD has picked up some malware, I rarely use it on the net, any comments or advice please

    Unlikely

    Is it possible ifs picking up something embedded in the photo like the geolocation info, and getting confused with the extra data attached to the photo?

    Also you should upload it to one of them online virus scanners.

    Interesting, thanks for your help B_Man, ill do that, the alert only showed up when I was resizing the image leading me to wonder if the resizing program was the problem
