771264 2009-05-05 11:18:00 Is it possible for a camera card to pick up a virus? For example when plugged into an infected computer via a card reader or when the camera is connected to an infected computer? bandch (14886)
771265 2009-05-05 11:20:00 Its possible. You can also get something with a USB flash drive, (if its infected), and you plug it into a USB port Speedy Gonzales (78)
771266 2009-05-05 11:30:00 Very Possible, as a memory card is just a normal mass storage device.

Grab the pictures from it from a linux live cd or something then format if you think its infected.
