Malware in picture - like this one safe picture: permian-mass-extinction 634x399.jpg
kMQLVpP.jpg


So malware in picture (this same, but bigger image: 794x500) are here:
história: 60 mil anos, período de tempo comparável a um piscar de .
on funny-pictures.picphotos.net
- 'search by image' on Google Images, it's 2th picture.

Downloaded on my desktop, but see no possibility to delete it - no 'delete' function on the right click for this picture only ..
PCHunter/right click/delete it (in RED on PCHunter ..) saved me.


PS.
Web Inspector of SlimBoat browser - Console: get Warnings:
Resource interpreted as Image but transferred with MIME type text/html.
Too, the page at .. displayed insecure content from : womencitizen.com, vistaalmar.es, referentiel.nouvelobs.com, imguol.com, pangeabio.com, europapress.net

So many of these images (by 'search by image' on Google Images) are malicious? ...........

EDIT:
Could read: no 'Remove' function with the right click on this picture .. so no possibility to remove it .. sorry for my English!

@Prorootect What do you mean no right-click delete?

I downloaded, uploaded to with http://mime.ritey.com , and the result: image/jpeg. Also scanned both website, image host and download image to VT and Web Inspector, nothing suspicious.

This same problem with this suspicious image Today:
If download it from the link:
hxxps://www .google.bs/search?q=permian+extinction&tbm=isch&tbs=simg:CAQSZRpjCxCo1NgEGgIICAwLELCMpwgaPAo6CAISFJUKyAnLCcEP3A-lDMMRvhG_1D7oPGiDmFE8BH3aHDtdMV5UUieZrUz4ZJB3sP9P2IPYRnuBh9gwLEI6u_1ggaCgoICAESBL8GlvcM&sa=X&ei=9SZVVKibLYSCPZ-tgaAO&ved=0CBkQ2A4oAQ&biw=1249&bih=802#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=DmulDaKDs0W7oM%253A%3BH5FrXnAs9ijzyM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fimguol.com%252Fc%252Fnoticias%252F2014%252F02%252F11%252F11fev2014---extincao-relampago---pesquisadores-do-mit-descobriram-a-duracao-da-maior-extincao-animal-da-historia-60-mil-anos-periodo-de-tempo-comparavel-a-um-piscar-de-olhos-na-escala-geologica-1392133454483_794x500.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Ffunny-pictures.picphotos.net%252Fcerca-mil-aves-morreram-esta-madrugada-sequ-ncia%252Fabola.pt*img*fotos*mundos*lusa*incendios*incendioaviario.JPG%252F%3B794%3B500
- to My Pictures folder, this jpg are in the form of generic pictures icon, not of thumbnail - only display pictures generic icon instead of thumbnail - look on this screenshot:

My Pictures folder - suspicious image '11fev2014---extincao-relampago--- ... -na-escala-geologica-13921334544 794x500.jpg' screenshot.jpg
rUn6C34.jpg


Too, with the right click on this icon, I don't have the Remove possibility, nor the Scan with MBAM, Cut, Copy possibilities, lines.
With the click on Folder tab/Properties of this icon, I get the General tab only, with no data .. Size only: '0 octets' (0 Bytes).
Look on this screenshot:

Suspicious image - click on Folder button - Properties window - screenshot.jpg
jJ03HB4.jpg


If hovered with the mouse - I have the Size: 94.3 KB, and the Name is present too (why?), but no Dimensions ..
I can not change the name of this icon - Windows responds by the short beep only ..

- maybe the name is too long (look on the number in the name, that is cut a little: missing '83_') I think now .. and Windows can not do its job ..
- So Huracan, you say is there nothing suspicious?

Could the image file be corrupt, usually if the download is interrupted.
Edit: File name is too long. Copy image and re-name to 1.JPG, should be able to delete?

See URL source of downloaded image:
upload_2014-11-1_20-58-47.png


Upload .JPG, VirusTotal (https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...4cb0dde76fb5d819e7d909224126b823407/analysis/)
Scan URL, VT (https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/3...2197380576a99e2949c37e564dad229879f/analysis/)
Scan URL, Web Inspector (https://app.webinspector.com/public/reports/26359967)

@Malware1 Scanning image .jpg with an Antivirus is not that good? (I'm no expert)

'I'll move to a new thread.' - thank you, very good!

'Copy image and re-name to 1.JPG, should be able to delete?'

But Huracan, I wrote that I don't have the 'Copy' function listed in the right click for this image/icon, please ..
Quote:
'Too, with the right click on this icon, I don't have the Remove possibility, nor the Scan with MBAM, Cut, Copy possibilities, lines.'

Listen, I see that you have this '83_' in the name .. that I don't have!

In my precedent post, I wrote:
'- maybe the name is too long (look on the number in the name, that is cut a little: missing '83_') I think now .. and Windows can not do its job ..'

so I think now, that the too long name is badly handled by my Windows.

Well I found the solution here:

I have shortened the name to: '11fev2014---extincao-relampago---pesquisadores 794x500.jpg' in PCHunter/File .. with right click on this image/icon, and click on 'Rename', then downloaded to My Pictures folder, and this get the good thumbnail of this image, which are safe I see!

PCHunter saved me ..

So thank you, the problem is fixed!
