Oh and if there REALLY was some image-recognition software actually deleting the picture - then the fact that noone has even tried to post it inside a .RAR file or something is very strange too.
Even as a .txt file would do it.
that's not true at all..
Do you know how antivirus works?
So even AVG antivirus has setting on how many "layers" it searches.. a file inside another file type gets opened and opened.. 2 layers.. you can set it up to I don't know how many layers.. So in essence it unpacks the .rar and then searches for virus.
1) I'm not knocking you, but defeating anti-virus software is quite trivial. Your explanation is correct at a high level, but by altering the file structure (eg: via a hex editor or script), you can trick A/V software into thinking one file type is another (which may alter how the A/V software behaves - depending on its settings). It's easy to do and is also a method for bypassing content security systems (I've specialized in that field previously in my career and have a lot of experience with A/V software) - just saying that to clarify your comments.
2) I've been following this thread and reading bits and pieces purely out of curiosity and of all the photos I've seen so far, this piece of an image from this location (archive.4plebs.org...) seems to be closest to the text descriptions of the original and to me - it looks like it could be a match for a piece of the pixelated image that some are claiming is the "real" image. I'll stress the "could be" part as I'm not sure. but I'm curious if anyone has any more of this image...?
Personally I'm very wary of anything related to aliens these days, but this whole topic of the 4chan photo etc is interesting, even just from an entertainment angle.

Thanks for the details on antivirus, sadly the pic is from this fake xfiles alien. It's been posted around recently. Being used in lots of these composites.

Phew, so I my mind isn't conjuring up false memories at 4am. Do you remember the thread or video name? I might try to search it for connections.
Cheers

Note : The early descriptions said the alien was pouting its lips or duckfacing like it appears in this picture which was partly why it was being called a Selfie

One guy is adamant about his description. He says the head was sort of a squashed hourglass shape, but rounder in the middle. Dark yellow in color. The eyes, he said, were the most disturbing part of the image. They were mostly round - outer part of the eye was matte, or prune like in texture, the middle part was glassy grey, and the "actual eye" in the middle was smaller but black. He said it appeared that the outer part of the eye was looking left, but the "pupil" was looking toward the camera. The lips were described as the neckline of a shirt - dark in color and thin, and somewhat wrapped around the lower part of the head.
He likened the "scaliness" to the top of a T Rex's skull. Sort of cartilage-like. Very little curve to the actual skull - very distinct lines and definition.
