Malware or Zynga leftovers?

erose

While browsing my Sony Xperia S directory on my computer, I came across 2 suspicious files in my \sdcard directory named "HangGame" and "Poker". They are both listed as last modified on 1/1/1970, and I can't move, open or delete them at all.

I suspect these are some junk files leftover from a prior installation of Zynga's Words with Friends app (I've never installed Hanging with Friends nor Zynga Poker though). Can anybody verify this, or do I have malware on my phone?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

P.S. Strangely these files do not show up when I browse my directories using Android file managers such as ES File Manager and Astro, they only show up when I browse with Windows.
 
If the files/folders have a period (.) in front of their names then they are hidden files/folders.
Android file managers have in their settings an option for showing hidden files/folders.
