FICS is the Free Internet Chess Server, a server for providing human-to-human play across the 'net to gnuchess, xboard and similar chess programs. I guess your question is better rephrased as 'Anybody know about a trojan or something bad listening on port 5000', though I guess somebody might be running a gnuchess/xboard/WinBoard or something on that PC; I do not remember if FICS clients also needed a listening port on the client side, though I think not.
