Bug Description

i believe i have a root trojan of sorts or a hacker, xorg is running in task,i am uncertain about this. pc acts different every time i use it,clock is always completely screwed up,processer hits 100% on desktop and uses sometimes 900 megs of ram,ye gads the root processes in task are out of this world.have removed xorg with clam tk several times.
