Set-Up Anti-Virus & Rootkit Scan and Email Results
Firstly, install Clam anti-virus, Chkrootkit and Sendmail. Clam is the anti-virus programme for Linux, Chkrootkit is the rootkit scanner, and Sendmail is the easiest (and most basic) method of sending an email from within the terminal.
Please realize that while distributions may release patched version still the core of Chkrootkit hasn't been updated since July 30th 2009 (version 0.49).
