MP3 Player virus?

I think my mp3 player (Sandisk Sansa E250) has a virus. It all the sudden started saying all my audio files are bad. Then, it locked up and won't change screens or turn off. I have Norton 360 and it scans my computer every day, but I still think I might have a virus on there. Can I fix this, or am I just screwed?? Please help!! I don't even own this player. I've just been borrowing it for the last couple months.

I have the same problem. Except my computer doesn't detect the player so I guess I'm stuffed. :(

try to update ut Norton and scan it again to see if any virus can be detected. if that doesn't work, just format ur mp3 player, maybe there is something wrong with ur audio files.
