rooted ?

Sorry if this is not the correct forum,

Curious a day or so after a up2date on a fedora 2 system, I noticed very 
sluggish behavior. After checking obvious things such as netstat, du, nmaping 
it from another machine and checking ps commands thoroughly I found nothing 
abnormal. I then moved onto running a few rootkit scanners, all showed cleaned 
(for what its worth of course), I used both the tarball and rpm chkrootkit and 
scanned my machine with both. 

The strange part is, is that the one ran from source showed everything to be 
ok, the rpm showed 23-35 hidden processes, possible LKM rootkit installed. now 
after running the cmd " /usr/lib/chkrootkit-0.43/chkproc -v" I found the 
processes within the /proc and checked the status/info on all. they were all 
sleeping process from application I run all the time (evolution, mozilla, 
nautilus ). I booted the machine in init3 and without X and I didnt have this 
problem. 

The machine normally boots in init5, now if I start X then the problem arises, 
now I dont know if this is the right forum, but I would not think that I am 
rooted (optimistically said) and this is some weird iissue from an update. 1 
more note all the hidden processes were  owned and ran under my user account. 
Any input from anyone would be great. and no I didnt get Tripwire installed or 
record a MD5sum record ooopps

anyway just a day or so ago I read somewhere there may be a latency time diff. 
between the threads that are running and the chrootkit detection thus causing 
the discrepancy?
