Thanks in advance for the help.
I ran a rootkit analysis of my win 7 laptop and came up with these results (please see the attached image). It seems to me (and my intelligent friend Google) that most are fine. The only one I could not decipher is the biost! s entry. My computer is on the old side, but the performance has started to drag. Would someone please advise.

Hello mweimer22,
They appear to be fine but could you copy paste the results into this thread so I can see the file path please. :)
Best regards.

Hi mweimer22,
biost! s may be a file description that is pertinent to the detectives coding detections.
Aside from the slowness in your laptop have you noticed any other issues, was there a particular reason for running a rootkit scan?
A rootkit is cut from a different cloth than most malware infections, the RootAlyzer shows items which it believes to be out of the ordinary and may give a hint for an infection.
But in general these are not necessarily malicious, even legitimate software may use rootkit technologies.
Best regards.
Thanks again Tashi,
No other problems, I am most likely being paranoid. If anything else comes up I will post further.

Sounds good. :)
