They all begin with a period, so they don't show with ls 
(you need ls -a) to see them. dot-something are frequently used to store 
config information in user's home directories, but have little use 
beyond that, AFAIK. But since they are slightly hidden, I would guess 
it is the only reason why they are flagged.

Can't give an authoritative answer to that, but usually, no. However, 
you might just have a look and them and see if they look suspicious... 

Best,
