Hello, I hope someone can help me
I just got a new computer and I'm trying to import photos from my SD card to my computer but CA keeps telling me virus infection alerts called win32/MS04-028!exploit
I don't know how to get the photos on my computer, they are very important photos from a recent holiday so I don't want to just disgard them!!!!

Sorry... It's vista. I don't think the infection is on the SD card coz I've used it before... I tried looking up win32/MS04-028!exploit and I think it's to do with the jpeg files. It says the infection is in the local/temp section Sorry, I'm really clueless on this stuff

The files aren't actually on my computer to be deleted because every time the warnings came up I stopped importing the photos and it gave me the option to delete what had been imported.
So there currently no infection on my computer but I still can't import the photos without getting the infection alerts

The photos are from Canada... a once in a lifetime trip for me from Australia so do NOT want to lose them  Well, I just did a scan on the SD card and it came up clear

Use an Online Photo Host to transfer the pictures to before the AV scan.
As long as you have all of the Critical Updates from MS you should be OK. They have released multiple patches for this exploit.
This is an excellent idea...you can also scan them after DLoading them to be sure they are clean before opening them... 2 free image hosting sites to try would be imageshack and/or photobucket.
