"Error: Failed to decompress data!" when accessing SD card on camera

My sister is travelling around South America and is having big probs with her 2 camera SDHC memory cards. Basically, when she tries to view the photos on both SDHC cards on her Canon IXUS 80 digital camera the message "Error: Failed to decompress data!" appears and she cannot access her photos. There are a whole host of reasons why this may be a problem:-
1. Could have picked up a virus from an Internet cafe?
2. Could be humidity/temperature and thus a temporary problem (which I doubt, but I
could be wrong!).?
3. She's ruled out problem with the card reader, because a guy in the
Internet cafe tried with his card reader, and still the same problem
occurred (same error msg - ("Error: Failed to decompress data!").
She is going to be hard pushed to find another memory card to test/use. I have searched the web on this error but nothing useful is coming up.
Any ideas please?
Thanks
Scott

I'll make your suggestions know to her but I think she's already virus scanned both cards. She cannot access the photos on the card via her camera, card reader or computer at the moment so cannot access the files in an explorer window. I get her to try other card readers, computers and to do another virus scan.
Any other suggestions please?
Thanks
Scott

I don't have access to the app info here but when I get home I'll check.

The perils of using internet cafes, eh?
I'm just wondering who the IT techs are that are supposed to be looking after these public access points.
Heard of 3 people that have picked up viruses from the terminals at the local library.
