That's a scary tool, if I ever saw one. I have it running once a day,
and it almost always reports a possible LKM "infection". Sometimes it
detects 1 process hidden from ps, sometimes 3 processes, sometimes none.
I'm reasonably sure the machine is not compromised, I think the tool is
just a bit too zealous.

I keep it installed because it does all sorts of checks for other types
of compromises.
