.tif are Tagged Image Format files, i.e. un- or losslessly-compressed
graphics. TIF are IE's web cache, typically bloated to some % of the
hard drive, as if the whole system existed only to run IE.
I know it's possible to launch raw code via exploit .jpg, but not sure
if this is the case with .tif, unless the OS is dumb enough to process
a JPEG with .tif extension as a JPEG and get exploited that way.
