99741, no less... And a "possibly" LKM trojan installed on my

I'm begining to undestand why my CPU temp is approaching 120 °C !
Is it serious doctor ?
Nope. False alarm. The check for the LKM trojan simply checks to
see if you have a process running with the process id 12345,
if I remember correctly. Been a while since I've had it installed
and looked at the problem.
See
http://osdir.com/ml/linux.mandrake.security.general/2008-06/msg00001.html
for the hidden processes (actually, threads).
As to the temp, try cleaning out the cpu heatsink, and ensure the fans
are working.
