| 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. Blam |

| 771268 | 2009-05-05 11:44:00 | I would scan your system with a virus scanner too. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
