As he's running QNX I don't expect he's infected.

I've seen some windows programs update files but reset the mtime to the
original time, this may be the issue if he's running samba, for example.
We'd need to know what the differences are between the files. If they
are single bit changes then memory or system bus may be corrupting data.
If there are localized "real" changes then an application is more likely
to be the culprit.
