I've been compromised by a worm before, and well know it's possible, but
this doesn't look anything like that.

If I were to make a wild arse guess, I think you must at some time have

windows network clients.  I'm not at all certain the files are supposed
to be located in /home, but perhaps they got moved there by accident?
