Apple has admitted to shipping some 5.5G iPods infected with a Windows virus called “RavMonE.exe.” Apparently the virus infected a PC at an iPod manufacturer’s facility and subsequently found its way onto some of Apple’s players. So far, reports are that less than 1% of players are affected by the virus which spreads via mass storage devices.

Apple has posted details on how to detect and remove the virus here.
