Apparently stores exe files in Program Data, so do a couple of other programs. The string of text and numbers in the file name looks to me like the backup files when you install MS Office but I don't think they have an exe.

All I can say is; if it was my computer I'd probably do a system restore to see if it returned by itself. It may very well be innocent, but you don't want to be taking risks. Sorry can't be of more help.
