There were several postings about this on Amiga News Network (http://www.ann.lu)
and I think that it has been confirmed that they are Trojan / backdoor viruii.
Afaik the one trying to access H&P is to mailbomb them and is apprently setup to
make it look like its abusive stuff from the people involved with MorphOS.

So yes, everyone stay well clear of those files.
