Default Virus / Spyware on MP4 player?

Apart from the usual video & audio files that come with these players, I noticed some unusal files on my new 1st gen Nano clone (v9.0.50). They are:

host.exe
copy.exe
autorun.inf

(Autorun.inf is:
[autorun]
Shellexecute=copy.exe)

Now can anyone tell me why these files would be on here? When I ran copy.exe, my firewall logged it trying to access the net! Plus, it created two child processes in memory, temp1.exe and temp2.exe. Deleting these files and reformatting the player did not affect the player's functions far as I can tell, so it certainly doesn't need to be on the player's flash drive.
