Virus Hoax Comment!
Saturday, June 7, 2003, 11:26 | Dario
Update by HeXetic: This is a hoax. Absolutely NO known viruses infect JPG, GIF, BMP, etc. Although viruses frequently try to fool people into thinking that they're a JPG or GIF or BMP by clever naming tricks, computers are not fooled. No known security vulnerabilities exist in the TGA (Targa) format used by Generals for map previews. This hoax has been repeated in past RTS games that allowed downloading (Starcraft, Warcraft III) and is equally idiotic and unfeasable here. Try reading my good old Tech Troopers article on viruses for some sanity.


See?, so No Sweat!
