No, the camera will still work. Maybe the data on the card will be corrupted but I doubt it.
of course it will be corrupted.
Viruses are written for computer operating systems (OS) and are executable files that need an OS in order to do their thing. To the best of my knowledge, camera flash cards do not support these kinds of files and certainly cannot execute them. If you seach internet on this, you will find lots of postings that purport that it is possible, but after reading many of them I cannot help but notice a computer or flash drive is involved when experiencing a problem. This indicates the issue is with the pc or file storage, not the camera itself. Their virus is likely on the pc and is interfering with the interaction with the camera. Digital picture frames have been known to be shipped with viruses, which is possible because they use picture management software. They could support this type of file which copies itself to the connected computer.

How do you clean a virus out of a digital camera?
The virus is probably not in the camera but in the memory card. If your camera came with a USB cable, plug the camera in the computer using the USB cable and go to my computer. Right click on the correct drive and right click. Find Format... and click it. Then click start. Also another way is going to the camera settings and find the format button. (this doesn't always work) Also make sure there is nothing in the camera.
