I've had it for nearly 2 years now. There has these been these weird files I guess you can say that only show up when I upload my pictures to my computer.
Here's a picture of what shows up when I try uploading pictures to my computer.

Does my camera have a virus?
It only started with a few of those. There was no folders at the time this started. I've tried to delete them when I try to upload pictures, but I can no do so. I keep getting more every so often, taking away from the pictures that my camera can hold.
My camera used to hold quite a few pictures, now the max it holds is 10. I am aware that I can buy a memory stick, but I just want to know what is going on with my camera.

If anyone can help me out, it would be greatly apprecitated. If you need in more information, I'll try to answer so you can help me. Thank you in advance

I have a digimax 240 tucked away somewhere and i haven't seen this problem before. I'm assuming you're using internal memory so why don't you try giving it a format? I'm assuming the menu layout is similar. Turn your dial over to SET and go down to where it says FORMAT and select YES. That should clean up the memory and wipe off all that junk so you can start fresh. Hope that helps.
