Hi.

I am currently travelling and had to use an Internet cafe to upload some pictures to Facebook as my ipad2 is at capacity. It appears that I have gotten some kind of virus from the machine I used! I put the card in my camera afterwards and it said memory card error and now I can't access any of my photos on the card on a computer either. I went to Machu Picchu yesterday and I don't have any of the photos anywhere else so I am gutted and have a girlfriend in tears! Please help!

It's probably not a virus but something on that computer could have caused issues with the card. Is the card readable on the computer and comes up as a drive letter? What happens when you try to open it? Try using photrec http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec it's free and if the data is on the card you have a chance of getting it back.

From your limited words, we also cannot make sure whether this problem is caused by virus. But, if you really think so, you could scan it with your antivirus program.

But, to get back your data, you should always act carefully. Perhaps, as hang-the-9 mentions, a data recovery program could be a good choice to go.

You could select a paid one or free one according to your own needs.

Here is a free one that could give you a hand:

Good luck!
