Can anyone recommend some rootkit info/detectors to use for someone that isn't all that computer security literate? So far I've been using Rootkit Revealer and RKDetector. But, as I've read, how trustworthy are these programs on systems that may have already been compromised? I've posted RKR logs to their corresponding forums and they said I was fine. With RKD, however, I keep getting results on my System Volume Info folders, namely in restore. Regardless, I'm reinstalling my OS (XP).

I keep reading about rootkits being the next big thing in computer security and I just want to be able to protect myself accordingly since I've made an enemy of sorts in the past few months with someone a lot more computer literate, especially in computer security, than me.
