The next time I plugged the USB drive into my computer I noticed that the "autorun.inf" file was altered, and had some EXE file added to its root directory, ready to be executed.  Seems that people (if one could be so kind as to call them that) are writing software for Linux that is intended to install itself on USB drives that they assume will eventually be plugged into Windows machines.
