root kit should I be concerned?
Following from the thread regards root kits and Hitman Pro here I downloaded and gave it a go. This is the result, the two items refer to a Digital TV USB stick and the software for recording tv etc, which has been working ok for 2 years. Should I be concerned?

Not every rootkit is malware. Some USB drives install rootkits that are essential for their specific functionality. These two look OK, I'd leave them alone.
Best wishes,

Yes thanks for the re assurance, there has been no evidence of anything strange going on so I will ignore these.
