Hi,

To put it correctly, since there is _NO_ way to assure that there isn't
a rootkit:

chkrootkit can be used to check whether there _are_ _known_ rootkits.

BTW, there are other, similar programs that do the same.
But my point is: You can never be sure, since a hypothesis can't be
proven correct, just invalid.

If there are indications a rootkit might be present, there's no secure
way to remove it but to reinstall.
