Avatars

[Bob123]

Anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find a few good (virus free), pre-made avatars? Unfortunately I don't have Photoshop and I'm not very savvy with MS-Paint. !grr

it depends on what you want. If i were you i would just GOOGLE some images that you want and use one of those.

You can't get a virus from an image file.

Actually, that's wrong.

There have been a few PoC Viruses translated through JPG being read by various software, but I've yet to hear of any such viruses in the wild.

hehe, there was a bug in the windows image viewer for the longest time that would allow someone to embed executable code into an image. It was patched but rumor on the street is there's a couple unpatched bugs that do the same thing.

So wrong. Me and my friend got in this guy's computer by binding a .EXE in a .JPG picture !

It's not actually in the picture though, it's just a shortcut to the image that you bound to an .exe

Errr, no. The programs seperates the image code and the .EXE code and put it in the same file, while putting the image code first so the program or whatever you want to call it is seen and launched first.

Ive been talking to Kendle and Garden_Grove and im putting together a Downloadable Avatar Package that will include 100-200 avatar pics. They will be TF2 based and ive already made 54 pics. Ever wanted a picture of a Spleen for your avatar pic?

Fair enough.

How about this: He won't get any viruses through choosing an avatar from the internet.
