>I heard that an animated .gif or .jgp can have a virus in it. Is that right? How can such a thing work? What sort of code found in an image can be executed by Internet Explorer, Photo Editor, or any other common picture display program?

Bret,

It uses the GDIPlus.dll vulnerability. See http://www.easynews.com/virus.txt and http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-028.mspx
