Can you assist me please? I just ran a rootkit hunter as I've been concerned lately that someone has been monitoring my computer. It gave me the following warning:

Checking if syslog remote logging is allowed [ Warning ]
Syslog configuration file allows remote logging: install.* @127.0.0.1:32376

Performing filesystem checks
Checking /dev for suspicious file types [ Warning ]
Suspicious file types found in /dev:
/dev/fd/6: MS Windows icon resource
/dev/fd/7: MS Windows icon resource

Should this be something I should be concerned about and what does it mean? Is there a way I can disallow remote logging? I tried looking for those "suspicious" files - /dev/fd/6, but I couldn't find them. Any tips on where they would be? Thanks for taking the time to respond!
