I tried logging in to my admin account and it said password incorrect. There is no way it could have been incorrect since I copy-pasted it from a usb drive. I reset my password, installed chkrootkit and found out that I've been infected with a rootkit. So what do I do, just delete the files chkrootkit reported? Here is the terminal output: user1@user1-linux ~ $ sudo chkrootkit [sudo] password for username: ROOTDIR is `/' Checking `amd'... not found Checking `basename'... not infected Checking `biff'... not found Checking `chfn'... not infected Checking `chsh'... not infected Checking `cron'... not infected Checking `crontab'... not infected Checking `date'... not infected Checking `du'... not infected Checking `dirname'... not infected Checking `echo'... not infected Checking `egrep'... not infected Checking `env'... not infected Checking `find'... not infected Checking `fingerd'... not found Checking `gpm'... not found Checking `grep'... not infected Checking `hdparm'... not infected Checking `su'... not infected Checking `ifconfig'... not infected Checking `inetd'... not infected Checking `inetdconf'... not found Checking `identd'... not found Checking `init'... not infected Checking `killall'... not infected Checking `ldsopreload'... not infected Checking `login'... not infected Checking `ls'... not infected Checking `lsof'... not infected Checking `mail'... not found Checking `mingetty'... not found Checking `netstat'... not infected Checking `named'... not found Checking `passwd'... not infected Checking `pidof'... not infected Checking `pop2'... not found Checking `pop3'... not found Checking `ps'... not infected Checking `pstree'... not infected Checking `rpcinfo'... not found Checking `rlogind'... not found Checking `rshd'... not found Checking `slogin'... not infected Checking `sendmail'... not found Checking `sshd'... not found Checking `syslogd'... not tested Checking `tar'... not infected Checking `tcpd'... not infected Checking `tcpdump'... not infected Checking `top'... not infected Checking `telnetd'... not found Checking `timed'... not found Checking `traceroute'... not found Checking `vdir'... not infected Checking `w'... not infected Checking `write'... not infected Checking `aliens'... no suspect files Searching for sniffer's logs, it may take a while... nothing found Searching for rootkit HiDrootkit's default files... nothing found Searching for rootkit t0rn's default files... nothing found Searching for t0rn's v8 defaults... nothing found Searching for rootkit Lion's default files... nothing found Searching for rootkit RSHA's default files... nothing found Searching for rootkit RH-Sharpe's default files... nothing found Searching for Ambient's rootkit (ark) default files and dirs... nothing found Searching for suspicious files and dirs, it may take a while...

Warning: /sbin/init INFECTED I also changed the firewalls settings so that it logs any suspicious action. I'm on Windows right now; I hope it can't spread to my Windows partition? EDIT: I'm using Linux Mint as my personal OS so no networks are affected. I'll just wipe the drive.
