Hello Parallels

OK 1 week ago I got an email from my server:

[rkhunter] Warnings found for <insert domain name here>
watchdog@mail.<insert domain name here>.com
Please inspect this machine, because it may be infected. Scan log:

I contacted my server provider and they said my VPS is "self managed" so its up to me to resolve this problem, but they did say it was probably nothing.

Today I got another email from watchdog with the same warning, My VPS has been up and running for 18 months now and I've never had emails like this before???

I dont know what to do next, can anyone help please?

Cheers

Hi LordLiverpool,

sorry for the late answer. Please provide me the whole log, when you have ran in Watchdog (Extensions -> Watchdog) the rkhunter.
Please anonymize it or send it to me via PM and I'll give you further information.

With your error, I can only advise.
 
Can anyone help me out with this? I originally posted this question back in December, felt it was worth a bump.

Every Monday morning I get an email from [email protected]

Telling me "Please inspect this machine, because it may be infected."

With it comes a scan log, hundreds of lines long.

Q1. How do I know this isn't a false positive? (My server provider said my server was unlikely to be infected and not to worry)
Q2. If it is a false positive how do I adjust Watchdog settings so as to prevent the weekly email be sent?
Q3. If my machine is infected how do I fix it?

Thanks in advance
