Rootkit findings

[Jeff]

I have sysinternals "Rootkit Revealer" v 1.7 so I ran it on my XP MCE
system that I keep clean with frequent use of Ad-Aware SE personal,
Spybot, and Avast plus ZoneAlarm. So I was surprised when it showed 6
discrepancies. I'm even more unhappy because I cannot make sense of
these 6 discrepancies. Can someone tell me what to do with these
results? Do I have a zombies PC?

I wanted to add, that the "Hide standard NTFS metadata files" and "scan
registry" are both selected in the RootkitRevealer option screen.

all of those look fine - no solid indication of a bad guy there.

there are some other good rootkit scanners out there now, Panda makes a
pretty good free one.

So I need to just ignore these "discrepancies"?
