F-Secure deleted the file before I could look closer into it, so I'm interested to hear if anyone else have noticed this, or if my antivirus was a bit trigger-happy.

I would be careful putting this card into a computer without antivirus, and autorun enabled on memory cards until others can confirm/deny this issue. If my card really was infected most likely there will be others...
Yeah, I mentioned this in post 10 of this thread. Someone else in Australia noticed the same thing. I contacted the vendor I got it from and they were passing the info along to Blackvue. Looks like their SD cards came pre-formatted with a worm.

I purchased a 32GB card to replace the 16GB that came with it, and when the BlackVue formatted it, it didn't have any malware on it, so it looks like it was on the card and not on the camera's firmware that formats the card. This is odd though, since I thought the first time I powered up the camera with the card that came with it, it mentioned it was formatting the card.
