I think it's possible to create a virus that infects win32 binaries that contains images. Part of the code would be on the executable area, and the other part could be in a Icon image. This would make easier for larger viruses to hide themselves in an bigger executable file. Jonathas On Sat, 10 Nov 2001, Rob Salmond wrote:
If memory serves, from my days of Mac use you should be able to do a straight ResEdit on the file who's icon you wish to modify. Much the same way you can alter the icon of a win32 binary with similar reshacking programs. When the .res file is added during compilation its a standard .ico file added as static data to the binary.
