Sorry, I think I  wasn't clear enough. Yesterday night I opened my Home and
found this new folder, called "bin", with a file inside called
"check-home". To make it clear, what appeared is /home/user/bin/check-home.

I googled it and only found a result in a Linux-Mint forum, but the user
with the same problem din't get an answer.

So I'm trying to figure out what is it about, and if it could be some kind
of malware.

Thanks,
Lucas
