JPG is compressing the file to make it smaller in size. It does this by throwing away data, thus colored pixels. It sounds like you are seeing what we call in industry, "artifacts". These look like blurred parts of the image where pixels used to be. Excessing compression or compressing solid areas of color with the JPG format (which is best of photographic images) will cause this also.
