It's always a good idea to take precautions, however, this one is not much to worry about. The virus comes in two parts - the part that attaches itself to JPEG files CANNOT DO ANY HARM BY ITSELF. To spread the infection, your computer must already be infected with the second part, which reads the first part out of any infected JPEG files. Infected JPEG files are easy to spot, as the picture will be corrupted. Supposedly this virus has not been released on the internet, and was only sent to the virus labs by its creators. Researchers are most concerned about the innovation this represents, not the virus itself. Again, it pays to take all reasonable precautions, but this particular one is not (yet) a threat.
