Hi Morgan

WD detects some rootkits as Sony BMG...... everything is secrets with
MS definitions....... !?

If you want to learn more about rootkits Marks blog at Sysinternals
is a great place.

Note his new findings about Alcohol and Daemon tools....!?

Windows Defender targets some rootkits. The Malicious Software Removal
tool, which I hope we all run as part of the regular Security Patch
releases--next one is this coming Tuesday--targets a larger number of them.

ok thx again for answering... I have downloaded the rootkit reaveler and it
works correctly; but what to do when the list of rootkits is on my screen?
are all the rootkits in the lis malwares or adwares? if so, how find and
delete them?

Hi again

Well, are you the same "Morgan" as in the signature group ?

Run F-Secures Blacklight, it´s a enduser tool against rootkits.
Sysinternals Rootkit revealer is a pro tool.

Example:

Blacklight download.

You need to read the help for RootKitRevealer to see whether what you see
displayed is natural background items present on many systems, or something
to be worried about.
