Has anyone out there heard of this and will a reformat of the card done in the camera rectify the problem?
She has not taken anything on the card since and is not near a comp to check it out!

Hi, I believe that a friend has got a virus on her card, while downloading photos, working on them and then saving them back to her card!

I would suggest that formating the card should remove the virus.
I would not connect to a computer without virus software even after formating and then scan the card for viruses in camera or in a card reader. After formating and virus scanning you should be pretty safe.
