It looks like a Windows virus was copied to the filesystem via TikiWiki,
probably as an attachment to a wiki page, or something.

This is a common problem for wikis, I think.  I've not seen any indication that
the system has been compromised any further than this (although that certainly
doesn't mean that it hasn't).

I assume the files in question sit in a directory that is writable by the web
site user?  If that is the case, this sort of thing can only be expected.  The
system is acting as designed.  It's allowing users to upload content.  It would
be a good idea to vet users better. :)
