Rootkit?

[Charan]

Hi guys i just came to know something about rootkits. i guess its something which hooks up with API's and hands over the controls to a attacker. I used AntiHookExec tool and it gave a html file . its showed something with "Checking exports of KERNEL32.DLL for discrepancies" thing which i didnt understand.

No there is no problem with your PC. Until you see the name of a DLL or SYS file in the column that says "API Hooked By", you are fine. It is a false alarm.
