Dark Foo,

Correct. chkrootkit/rkhunter both give false positives on a healthy system. I don't know unhide.

I feel like saying fuck it and going back to windows as i dont think i can keep the machines secure, think its because of all the programs that there are for windows that cover this area, and that I have got used to having it all done for me, I just dont feel confident enough, keep getting this feeling that I have missed something and the boxes will be compromised
