As to the substance of your post, why don't you just reply to the message and ask?
yo
Perhaps you sourced the avatar from a website which is a known security threat? Or was it hosted on Tinypic/Imageshack etc? :S
Eventually, a person who wears two faces forgets which one is real.
I don't know your avatar, but I know of plenty of .jpg images, which are still floating around the net, which try to exploit an old Windows vulnerability:

This is old, but could be that there exist more problems like this.
it is a jpg picture of me modified with photoshop cs
and i upload it in the same site
is it only for jpg files
the word "hack" sometimes means low-quality. maybe they thought your avatar was poorly done?
It could also have been trying to back-link back to his home PC to look for an object on his PC, or another (innocent?) link embedded in the jpg that he created, therefore the system could have thought he was running scripts for nefarious purposes, ergo a hack av was identified by the system.
Some do try (have tried) invisible links in avs & IE7 to garner info, so scripts were put in place to prevent such things leaving the system.
Yes Sir, I'm Right On It!!
