I run chkrootkit and rkhunter on my laptop.  Suddenly I noticed this in my 
logs:

/dev/shm/pulse-shm-2469735543
Possible Linux/Ebury - Operation Windigo installetd


Then, rkhunter shows:

I search on the errors and I arrive at this FAQs:

Now, I frequently login using ssh into remote servers and LAN boxen for admin 
purposes, but not the other way around.  Is my box compromised, or is this two 
false positives in a row?

Are you getting anything similar on your systems?
