Problem transferring photos to computer--virus???

[kjohans1]

Hi. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, and everytime I upload my pictures to my computer I get hundreds of clip art images and a few advertisements from YuMe mixed in with my photos. I had over 600 images. The clip art images and the ads are not on my phone in the camera gallery, just when I upload the pictures they all go onto my computer. I asked the people at Verizon and they didn't know. I installed Air Push Detector, and all the others, but they couldn't find an app that could be causing this. This has been an issue from the beginning. If anyone has any idea what I should do, please let me know! Thanks!

You haven't mentioned how you are "uploading" your pictures from the phone to the computer. But it sounds like the method you're using is scanning the whole phone (including cached items).
The simplest way to copy photos to the computer is to connect the phone via USB and use Explorer to navigate to the directory containing the photos (usually something like DCIM/Camera).
If you don't want to fiddle with USB cables you can try using Kies Air - you'll just use a web browser on the computer to navigate through the contents on the phone.

Thank you so much! I called Samsung tech support today, and that was exactly the problem. I was uploading through Windows Live, which was scanning everything on my phone. I tried it through Explorer and everything is good now. Thanks for your reply...
