Images In Trash I'd Never Seen Before, How?


I just saw that the Trash wasn't empty and so I looked, and it was these 3 images (that I had never seen before). I uploaded them to show you.

http://logger.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/images.jpeg
http://logger.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/gh.jpg - ".jpg" was missing originally but still opened fine

I haven't really been on any unsecure sites lately. Could it be from uninstalling software I removed?
Should I get some anti-virus software?

If you feel it helps you. I'm just pretty confident it's not doing anything on your Fedora; the images got to your trash some other way than a computer virus, I'm afraid.

You probably didn't check out who owned the files (probably your username), when they were last modified, accessed etc. did you? It might have shed some light on when exactly they were moved to your trash directory..does your pc have other users? Remote connections?

Those pictures don't seem to be from any app I know.
