I was just using htop to see what was running on my computer, and some of the files are titled tracker-miner. Does anyone know if these are valid programs running in the background?

On GNOME, yes 
They are names that give you instant paranoia 
Afaik it's the service used for indexing files and other similar things, like baloo on KDE. And yeah, tracker has a quite bad connotation
