That would be cool, but one question comes to my mind : is it secure? knowing that one can hide malicious scipts in gif files. I’m asking because I do not know the answer :)

I think that wouldn’t be that good.
I think that it’s quite annoying if you want to read something and everywhere are small blinking pictures…
But maybe it’s just me..
Also aren’t GIF files bigger then PNG for example?

Animated GIFs take a few tens of KB. As I know, but I could be wrong, you can not hide a virus or trojan in an animated GIF. I believe that such problems have been solved in modern versions of Windows?!

I agree with @ColdIV as HackThis would look like Blackpool illuminations with flashing animations everywhere, a tad annoying I would say.

I’m with @ColdIV and @R4z0r with this one:
No animated GIFs please. They were fun in the ‘90s but not anymore…
Edit: Typo
