Camera virus?

[Genius.]

Was copying some photos onto my laptop and when i plugged my card reader into the usb with my memory card in, it said it is detecting a virus.

Can my camera pick up a virus if i have a virus on my pc?

I nearly attacked some "IT dude" when he proclaimed that he had a virus on his camera... The Virus on any/the memory card is targeted to PCs and not your camera, so relax

You need to clear out the autorun files on that memory card asap though, else you'll just keep on spreading the thing all over.

Used any of those photo booths recently? The one near us regularly installs something or other onto whatever gets put in it.

It never ceases to annoy me. If they're going to be writing kiosk software, why on earth do they insist on using Windows? This is the perfect scenario for using Linux.

Nope, not in the slightest, and I only use the camera to format the card after using it.
