I’m guessing Turbify might have failed on that note. What I will do is download them to a folder on my PC, then scan the images for malware. Any images with malware? POOF! — gone!

Well done! That is the way to do it! :)

Linux users have to remember to try and check stuff going through as a courtesy, if they care. Malware made for windows will not bother our Linux, but it can hit any windows users we forward the file to.

I try to stay on top of that, especially when sending a downloaded file to anyone with a local native email client. But I try to only source from trusted sources.

But using “Save image as” is the best way when possible. It just saves a copy of the “rendering” not the actual file. Although the quality is not as good, I also use my “select area” in screenshot to capture the rendering.
