Excel/Word files install as applications and create desktop shortcuts

I have a strange issue for a while, and the reason I haven't reported it before is because I always accepted the fact that wine/crossover don't work,and cannot work 100% well, and I was/am ok with it, as long as it does what I expect from it good enough.

The issue is that MS Excel and Word create desktop shortcuts (with crossover icon nad ink extension.), a lot of them. I deleted all shortcuts, but there are still entries in CrossOver application - installed applications. I am not sure why they appear as installed applications... What I did with these icons, before deleting them is I had put them all in a folder on my Desktop. I have deleted them (icons and folder) but they still apear if I look under CrossOver application - 'See all Windows Applications'.
I have also noticed an that something tried to installed known trojan (To copy it in C:\Temp), and this resulted in empty folder C:\Temp in my home folder, and the file C:\Temp\DDQKEVPW.SFP in my home dir too. I renamed it later, deleted the path from its name. I only know the date when this happened, it can been seen in the screenshot.
For the case the pictures don't work well, like at the moment, here is the link to my Google Drive folder with screenshots:
