Virus from camera?

Can you get a virus from importing photos from a digital camera?
We had a Trojan Pop up the other day when we imported some photos from a
concord digital camera.
Ever time we opened the windows photo gallery from that certain user, the
Trojan would come up and Macaffee could not quarentine it. I think I deleted
it when I deleted the Picture files? I have ran 2 scans since and it has not
showed up.

It could be a false positive. I bought and downloaded a program on the
internet and it stated that I might get a warning of a trojan and to ignore
it. It was a known problem.

That Very well could be. I tried to find the file that it gave as the
infested file and I could not locate it. I even ran three different
Anti-Virus programs and they did not locate it?..... Thanks for the
post......It could very well be that!

Was the trojan bloodhound.exploit.13? I think that's a false positive from
Symantec Anti Virus. Others have reported the same thing.

An awful lot of trojans tell you in the readme that you may get a security
warning that you are about to install a trojan and that you should ignore
such a warning. Are you sure you didn't just pay for a trojan?

I have a digital camera and all I did was import some pictures I had taken.
When my daughter opened her Windows Photo Gallery, the Trojan warning from
Mcaffee popped up! It said it could not quarentine it would I like to remove
it. I deleted the Photos from her gallery and Now I can't find any kind of
Trojan warning or I could not find the file path the warning gave......Which
was "ExploitMS04-028"....Or something of that sort!

Did it say "ExploitMS04-028"? That's the same thing as the
bloodhound.exploit.13. It's a really old vuln.

I'm geting worried here though. Either both Symantec and McAfee use the same
detection logic and find the same false positive, or there really is a
problem. I have a hard time believing that though. That issue was hardly
exploited in the first place.

What kind of camera is it? I think you should place a support call to the AV
vendor and ask them.

The camera is a Concord Q, 3042F.
I ran the AVG AV, I also ran Mcaffee AV, and I downloaded the Mcaffee
Stinger, and Ran it, and now the Trojan can't be found!.....It was the
MS04-028, It said it was from 2004??? I can't find it anywhere now?

Well, that's good. I suppose it could happen that the camera software itself
has malware, but I hold that for reasonably unlikely. It has happened in the
past though. Apple once spread a virus by including it with the iPod.

What bothers me about this is that two different AV manufacturers suddenly
start detecting the same, three year old, low-risk threat. This can't be
coincidence. Their detection mechanisms must use some property of the jpg
file that is being set by certain new cameras.

I may need to clarify a little! Mcaffee was the First and Only one to Detect
the trojan. Since I deleted the folder and have been running all the scans,
It has yet to rear it's ugly head. I hope it's gone!
Thank you for continued correspondence, It's nice to have someone interestd
in helping.
