All at a sudden I've found a strange folder in /home on my Jaunty.
The folder is using apparently random 30 digits number for its name. It
contains 2 sub-folders: /amd64 and /i386. Each of those in their turn
contains a bunch of same files: several .dll's, .cat, .gpd, and .inf
files. According to a time stamp the folder is about couple of months
old.
The .inf file in each mentioned above sub-folders suggests that these are
files for "Microsoft system driver files for XPSDrv print drivers."
I cannot imagine how possibly this crap could happen in my /home on a
pure Linux laptop that is operated within a pure Linux network
environment.
Any suggestions folks? Should I be worried about integrity of my little
network?
Though I do not see how possibly this junk could be used withing Ubuntu,
especially considering its weird location in /home folder.
