bin folder with a "check-home" file appeared in Home directory

[Lucas L]

Hi,
I recently noticed a new folder in my Home directory, with a file named
"check-home". File appears to be an executable but has no extension, an it
is 20,7 KiB.

I tried to open it with kate and, apart from the strange characters, close
to the end of the file I could read the following lines:

/proc/self/exe .config/.check-home.pid /proc/%s/exe %d .tar CPUINFO=`cat
> /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name'`;LSPCI=`lspci`;echo ${CPUINFO}${LSPCI} |
> sha1sum | head -c 40 check-filesystem /proc/stat btime /bin/sh /bin/busybox
> test4.lnx-ads.com test6.lnx-ads.com   UDP
>  -c /dev/urandom .local tcp udp /etc/services �             � �  �
> /etc/hosts DNSCACHEIP /etc/resolv.conf nameserver search domain /etc/passwd
>


Does anybody know something about this file? Is it dangerous or should I
delete it?
Thanks in advance,
Lucas
