Free Anti Rootkit

CharlieW

I've downloadeed and run the free anti rootkit. It noted it could not query one registry key. It also noted 22 "unknown hidden files," saying no information is available and it does not recommend cleaning them. I have no idea what to do next. I tried sending a mail message with the logs attached from https://secure.sophos.com/support/query/, but that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Any advice?

    This looks like an interesting product. I have never heard of a "rootkit" - is this just a dormant virus which gets triggered to activate somehow? Or something very new on the internet?

    I currently have Norton anti-virus protection, but have not heard about rootkits?

    Can anyone provide more info on what this is, and should I  be worried if i have anti-virus software already?

    Thanks.
