ok, my rootkit checker spit out a line that has me concerned. it read back checking for LKM and found 4 processes that were invisible to both readdir and ps. This has me a little nervous now. I need to know if I am actually infected and if so, how bad and what I can do about it. I need assistance ASAP here. I can be reached via telephone at (623)849-9515 or respond directly by e-mail. if anyone has answers for me, I'd appreciate it. thanks. -- I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered!
