As far as I remember this is the 'suspscan' test, which is disabled by
default. The log file (/var/log/rkhunter.log) will contain details of
what the test found - i.e. the file names. The test typically looks for
files in the /tmp and /var/tmp directories. However, this is set by the
SUSPSCAN_DIRS option in the config file (so if the test has been enabled
then someone may have changed this setting too).

If you want to disable the test, then look at the DISABLE_TESTS option
in the config file.
