questions about program chkrootkit

Asked by Nathaniel edwards

while running chkrootkit
this popped up amoungst the scanning I wanted to no if this means I have a possible rootkit?

Searching for suspicious files and dirs, it may take a while... The following suspicious files and directories were found:
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/.path

and if this file is bad how do I remove it?

and also wanted to know what this meant?

no packet sniffer sockets
wlan0: PACKET SNIFFER(/sbin/wpa_supplicant[1085], /sbin/dhclient[2446])
virbr0: not promisc and no packet sniffer sockets
