RootkitRevealer on Windows 7??? HELP!

After my computer acted suspicious yesterday I have scanned it with m
anti-virus and Spybot Search and Destroy with only few minor problems.

I then decided to try RootkitRevealer. I am running Windows 7 - Buil
7100 and when I ran the RootkitRevealer, a new window pops up saying "
program running on this computer is trying to display a message"
followed by the options "View the message" and "Ask me later"

So after clicking "View the message" the RootkitRevealer progra
interface is displayed in it's own separate screen away from the deskto
so I figured "Meh, it should still work". So I click "search" and afte
no time I am presented with a few minor registry values

Then about 5 minutes into the scan, millions (yeah, millions) of file
appear in the list! Pretty much every file on my PC + more is listed i
RootKitRevealer

Probably about 95% of the millions of results are "Visible in Window
API, but not in MFT or index."

Most of the results also have extremely long and obscene path's such a
"C:\Users\Home\Local Settings\Application Data\Applicatio
Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Applicatio
Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Applicatio
Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Applicatio
Data\(Some random letters)"... ***

Do I have a serious rootkit that is disguising itself within a list o
millions? Am I screwed
Or is RootKitRevealer not compatible with Windows 7 and I should not b
worried

Someone please help

There are plenty of articles out on Google that will show you what to
look for in the screen displays of RootKitReveler to determine what is a
threat and what is not a threat. You need to do the search.

You should post this issue of yours over to the microsoft.
public.security.homeusers for a comprehensive answer from one of the experts there
