Every time I try to import some photos from my camera, McAfee shows a Trojan something like "Exploit MS04-028" I think it is. So I stop the import and imediately scanned with AVG, McAfee, even tried to find the file path the warning gave me, and still, I can find no trojan?

If I disable the McAfee AV, and keep the other AV's on, none of the others pop up anything about a Trojan.

I am now afraid to import anymore pictures from my camera for fear of a trojan. Can there be a trojan in the camera?

Should I just disable McAfee every time I try to import pictures and go ahead with them, or should I be concerned and try to find out what exactly is going on?

I have never heard of this before, unless McAfee is indeed picking up a virus. Make sure you have your box patched up to MS04-028 - XP SP2 is not affected, but other software might be:

If you make sure all of your affected software (if any exists on your machine) is patched to the latest versions, and McAfee is at the latest update version (you're probably running an 8.0 version of McAfee), then two things:

1. You aren't vulnerable to MS04-028, so breathe easier!
2. Contact McAfee support so they can figure out what is triggering their software to see a vulnerability that you aren't impacted by - they may want a copy of a file that triggers it, so be ready to provide it to them; they can usually tell you if your file is infected, or if their engine has a bug or some other fault that caused this (hope it's the latter ).

Now I'm Kind-a scared... I just opened the Windows Photo gallery and tried to fix and save a picture three times, and each time McAfee quarentined the Exploit!!! I tried to send it to McAfee and it could'nt because of some network problem. But it will Remove it each time. At first it wouldn't even do that...it said it couldn't be quarentined? At least I can remove it now. But every time I try to fix and save a picture it pops back up and McAfee quarentines it.

I just bought the computer it has Windows Vista and McAfee Virus 11.1 I think it said!

Will deleting all the picures rid me of it?

I can't say yes for sure - you don't even know what virus you may or may not have. It's corny, but you might want to call 1-800-PC-SAFETY and open a free case with Microsoft security to clean that box of yours.

Well, I deleted all the pictures from my windows photo gallery that came from that camera, and I did some work with all the other pictures that was saved from aol or from emails and ....No more "Exploit MS04-24" At least I can't find it. Even when I scan!

This totaly baffles me. It only shows up when I try to Import from that camera?
