    rootkit revealer
    « on: June 07, 2007, 08:11:48 PM »
    Hello,

    I D-loaded rootkit revealer.  2 discrepancies were found HKLM\SECURITY\POLICY \SECRETS\SAC  & The other read the same thing exept \SAI at the end.  What does this mean?

    I came to use rootkit revealer because I ran AD Aware 2007 2x consecutively and the same issue continued to show up.  Another person in the forum suggested rootkit to see what it revealed. 

    Can anybody help?

    I found this link, which basically sums it up...

    I've never used Rootkit Revealer myself, but this appears to be very normal, based on all of the pages I've read.  Whatever Ad-Aware is finding could be perfectly harmless.  However, if you're paranoid about infections, you're more than welcome to post a HijackThis log.
