unfortunately i think you may have been rooted (hacker installed a rootkit).
You can re-install your linux to fix the problem, but then the rootkit will
still be there.

I would suggest you reformat your machine. Its the only sure way of removing
a good rootkit (especially those which replace kernel modules).

Sorry dude, if it is a rootkit, only a format is the absolute way of
cleaning the machine 100%.
