If he put files on your machine as proof, ask him what the files
are. Basically, call his bluff. Come back here and and list them.
Then others in the group will help you determine if they are indeed
anything to worry about or, as I would guess, are just ordinary
cryptically named files deep in the system directories that are part
of the OS.
