    The first is registration information from Ahead Nero, the CD/DVD burning suite that uses this "rootkit" method to hide it.

    The second seems to be the license of PAVARK? You can use FileAlyzer to view PAVARK.exe, Stream tab, I'm pretty sure it'll contain just text.

    The last one RootAlyzer should already tell you about as being some Office stuff, that's not dangerous as well

    Default Rootalyzer log file

    thanks for the reply. i had no idea what the first entry was, or that it was linked to nero. should i get rid of nero? i did pay for a license but it's about to expire anyways, so i probably won't be renewing with them after this. as for pavark, it is a file from panda antirootkit, so i am puzzled as to why it would show up as infected. you are right about the last one. it did appear to be from office, but i posted because i figured malware could appear more legit by pretending to be from office. is that usually the directory the unknown ADS shows up in? how can you tell a legitimate office directory form a rootkit one?
