I don't think so - several users confirmed the issue
(including Vista). The only differences are the amount of
CPU taken (sometimes 50%, sometimes 100% - probably
dual-core issues)

Did you try to click on the png file one more time, and
check the CPU usage ?

I have tested this on a Windoze XP SP2 (fully patched). 
Scanned with
Norton AV Corporate Edition v 10 and ClamAV 0.91.2 and both
scans came
back just fine, no hanging.

Upon opening the file, it caused 50% CPU utilization at a
constant
rate.  That could not be stopped until the computer was
reboot.
Simply closing the program wasn't enough to stop the CPU
from
stopping...

BTW - I'm running this on a P4 with HT.  Not a dual core...
