There have been some reports of Malware in certain filezilla distributions.
Looks like the assholes are at it again.  Google Search "is filezilla safe" will turn up a report from pandara claiming that there are maleware versions of filezilla floating arround.

Do not click on the link do your own search.  Safer that way. 
Careful with FileZilla! There is malware that imitates it perfectly

Have you run Malewarebytes and a good virus scan, Cecil? You may have 
picked up a nasty somewhere along the line.
