I have been transferring photos from Lolita's mobile phone to my computer.

Yesterday I uploaded some photos and I got a pop up on my lap top saying there is an error with the drive do you want to fix it now? (this is the phone's memory card which I slot in my lap top). I selected fix, the photos no longer show with a thumbnail image in the folder since this, and instead of showing as J peg files they have been re named to .....type of file 004 File (.004)

each photo 001 ..002 004 and so on, I opened some photos in paint to try change to jpeg which i selected to save as, but they were renamed as JPO,

My Avast antivirus put some of the mobiles files in the vault as trojan, some photos some mp3 files, amongst a few others. I've been running virus scans but finding nothing,

Any ideas? :Erm:

could be the sd card was\is corrupt, i seem to remember dedworth had posted a link to a program that tries to recover files from a sd card in the past :cwm25:

from the files extensions .00x it seems Windows has tried to recover some files.

i can open the photos, in photo viewer but as you look in the folder you normaly see your photos as thumbnails that you click on to open, there is now no thumbnail pics,

something else, i opened these photos in internet explore , oddly afterwards my IE wont load anymore just a blank page not responding then it closes itself after about 15 seconds, another reason im wondering if its a virus which is not showing on my scans
