Hello Poddima,
You can carry/copy/transfer those files to UNIX/Linux system, and
check whether they are genuine JPEG files or some executable file
renamed to JPEG extension. This file extension checking task can be
carried out using UNIX/Linux 'file' command.
Kindly read the man page of UNIX/Linux for more information on 'file' command.
You can get the man page of 'file' command online also:
UNIX - http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?file
Linux - http://linux.die.net/man/1/file
