Any file that is held together with macros, so Word Documents to pictures and music all have the potential.
.exe has been the most popular attachment type for forwarding viruses but you should scan all of them, which is a chore sometimes (and still not 100% guaranteed protection).

Just about any type. It used to be restricted to exe., bat and com. files but with more sophistication just about any file can hide malicious code.

Any files. Depends on what the virus writer wants to use as a medium.

Just about anything can carry a virus. Have good anti virus software and don't "fu*ck" er I should say download from any nasty skanky disease ridden sites like limewire or morpheus.
