Viewing pictures with .lnk extension
Posted: December 26, 2015, 5:48 pm
A friend sent some pictures with an .lnk extension.
I understand that I can convert the extension to .jpg manually, but are they then safe to view, or might there still be something malicious in the file that could cause havoc with my computer?
My friend didn't take the pictures, they were taken by someone else, so she doesn't have any way to insure that they're safe.
