Default Rootkits

Hi! I've just been doing a little reading of rootkits, which I didn't even know existed. My research came up with Rootkit Unhooker, but there's no documentation on how to use it. Supposedly, it's the best---Microsoft bought them out, but does anybody know how to use it? The help contents are empty, and I've been googling, but with no results. I ran it and came up with some "hooked" files, but I don't know if I should do anything about them---I don't know what hooked means. Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My advice would be if you don't know what they are you should contact a professional to look at your computer. If you want to check for root kits yourself try using a program that removes them for you such as Blacklight by F-secure or run AVAST anti virus program it has a built in Root kit scanner. Best of luck.
