F12 Rkhunter, Have I a rootkit?

[Simon Schneebeli]

Hm. I think that telling someone to ignore a message like this would be 
like telling people "hey there is a pandemia, but just ignore it".

Either there is a warning for a potential danger (if there is really a 
danger) or there is no danger (and there should be no warning). 
Otherwise, in the future, such warnings go unheard even if there is a 
real danger.

Just my psychological bit of conclusion drawn from the current pandemia 
hysteria...
