    I really do not know Jeff. But often, while using Firefox I get an 
attack that puts a cross hatch screen on and removes the keyboard and 
mouse, and puts a single tone out the audio channels and only a hard 
reset will clear it.

    This is how I think a rootkit would work and so I got rkhunter and 
right now I am trying to get it to check /home but have not found out 
how to do this :-)
