Comment:

 This is a false positive. Pidgin is not generating them; they are
 downloaded from your buddies as is. If you have updated Windows to fix the
 exploit, then they are not a threat and AVG's message is ignoreable (and
 really, warning about something as ubiquitous as a JPEG instead of the
 broken software is just silly).
