Output the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root file here, please, as this is the only one to have been changed recently. (It's possible to modify a file and then to reset it's modification date, but let's try first for the obvious.)

Also, here are the processes I am most worried about. There may be nothing to them, but it might be a good idea to investigate them further. If it will do no harm, kill them (the -ksh should be killed with -1 signal):
Code:
    root 1085514  389334   0 11:30:23 pts/10  0:00 -ksh
ssfactor  372750  950456   0 10:54:00  pts/7  0:00 wsmenu.4ge wsmenu
ssfactor 1024094       1 112 06:39:53      - 290:08 wseinvce.4ge wsrprtiv MENU:
    root  315558  254088   0   May 06      -  2:34 /usr/bin/perl /usr/factor/r

These are probably harmless, but I don't know enough about AIX to be sure
Code:
    root  237684  106644   0   May 06      -  0:05 /usr/sbin/aixmibd
    root  151688  106644   0   May 06      -  0:00 /usr/sbin/biod 6

    root  163968  106644   0   May 06      -  0:00 /usr/sbin/muxatmd
    root  290968  106644   0   May 06      -  0:00 /usr/sbin/writesrv
    root  262276       1   0   May 06      - 14:39 /usr/bin/xmwlm -L
    root  168056       1   0   May 06      -  0:00 /usr/ccs/bin/shlap64
    root  118874       1   0   May 06      -  0:00 /usr/lib/errdemon
    root  106644       1   0   May 06      -  0:00 /usr/sbin/srcmstr
