Discovered multiple short term, 5-10 secs, hidden processes appearing on my system - Linux localhost 2.6.24-1-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Mar 27 16:52:38 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux. Checked logs. Checked PC with top, htop, ps and then system rkhunter and chkrootkit . Also tried rkhunter and chkrootkit from a livecd. In all checks no problems found. Intermittently these processes stop.

So not sure if this is some sort of false positive or if it is something that evades rootkit checks and I have a problem.

Anyway I'm going to wipe my installation and start again as a precaution but if anyone has any opinions what's going on I'd be interested to read.
