Is It Possible To Get A Virus Looking At Forum Posts With Images ?

Hello, This is only a very vague question. Some people have problems with their Opera browser and attach a picture say a .jpg or a .png. with their posting.
There will be a few postings where the user may have something like malware etc. I have read on the Internet that picture files can sometimes be infected and unknown to the user. Do the Opera forums scan uploaded files for malicious code so that readers of the forum are safe ?

@mike88 Do you use some anti-virus, such as Windows Defender? Then you should be fine.
