I guess a little more detail is needed..

This is a laptop running MDK 7.2. I am the only user, and I generally
don't leave it unattended. I have lately installed Netscape 4.78, and
RealPlayer 8.0. 

I haven't been security paranoid, but I never login as root; I always su
for a task, then exit.

Having said that, I am concerned about someone hacking my system...but I
don't want to blow off and rebuild my OS unless I have good reason.
