Can a camera memory card get a viruse?
My girl friend took the memory card out of her camera, put it in a card reader, and uploaded pictures to a computer. Come to find out the computer had a viruse, can her memory card catch that viruse by just uploading the pictures. If the memory card can catch a viruse, how would we get rid of it?

Yes, it is certainly possible - particularly if used in a card reader slot on a given PC. SEE:
sd card virus - Google Search
Many netbooks (e.g.: Asus EEE PC) now have one of their 'drives' as one of these (4-8 GB SDHC Cards).
