No, perhaps not. But would you do a wholesale eradication of and/all suspicious 
files you find on your brand new flash drive that were installed there
by the device manufacturer? I would certainly hope so. The original point of 
this was that the individual found them on their flash drive, and it
appeared they were set to auto-execute and install upon insertion of the device 
into a Windex machine. Bottom line is, if it's on your removable media
and you have no idea what it is or how it got there, a modicum of concern is 
called for.
