There are no viruses on WP. Though not technically impossible, just highly improbably.

What made you think the picture was sent with a virus?

Nothing, because windows phones can not "catch" a virus from a picture.

There's nothing to stop a virus from being sent to a phone. However, it won't be able to execute and it won't be able to spread. It'll just sit there looking stupid and taking up a bit of storage.

That's incorrect. It's technically difficult but not impossible.
