Best Answer: I had the same issue. Mine was preloaded with W32.SillyFD-AU (http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2006-071111-0646-99) and another one that was cleaned up later. I called and reported it to Fisher Price. They claimed to NOT know about the problem and I gave them all the relevant information and encouraged them to escalate this issue and to put out an advisory before more people get burned. As the original writter suggests make sure you have a good virus scanner installed before plugging this camera in and call Fisher Price if you experience this issue so that they will start taking this problem seriously. I formated the camera (it took two attempts) and then reinitialized it and now it is working virus free. Good luck. - Sean

Fisher Price has known about this since at least December 11, 2008. I had the same problem and had a long talk with their customer service on that date. I also sent them my camera for examination - they are to send a new one in 4 to 6 weeks. I suggested they might have a major problem on their hands and should consider a recall. Haven't heard anything since that date. Tom - ttax1

Awesome info I will spread the word! Thanks - Braysen's Mom
