Some viruses may corrupt the file extension of related images thus it will just show to enter an application to continue.

Also aware that some infections are hidden at double extension like jpg.exe/png.exe and others as claiming to be a picture file.

 

[kuttus]

No. I want to know about the one lock the picture file or corrupt it forever.

I haven't heard about such infection. There are file infectors that infect exe, scr, html files. In one word, PE files

My advice is that you install Norton antivirus on your system and make a scan of your system. If you have any difficulty for removing any infected file then you contact with Norton chat support team at any time

l saw this type of infection in my friends memory card where all images become corrupted and changed to same icon.how to remove this infection??

metropolitan police spyware was doing this. It was locking all the pdf and Jpg files on the computer. We will not be able to open those files after the infection..........

In short some ransomwares encrypted the files installed in the computer to order as ransom and corruptes for execution.
