Rootkits are nasty since you never really know if you are clean. It almost always call for a wipe and reload.

I think Avira’s free version includes a root kit scanner.
“Avira encounters this malware spreading by integrating the rootkit technology into the entire product range. Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic is a basic protection that can be downloaded for free from: www.free-av.com.”
