Rootkit Found

Rather than attempting to break it down for you, it would be easier if you read about Rootkits at Rootkit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Lately, we've seen a lot of rootkits accompanying rogues. For example, Defense Center andProtection Center are bundled with the Pragma TDSS Rootkit. There are any number of ways that infections occur, whether it be a drive-by, installing an infected program from a P2P site, falling for a phish, clicking on a file "sent by a friend' (whose computer is infected).

I don't think it's a rogue - at least I hope not. Once Kaspersky is done updating to the latest databases, I am doing a complete scan to see if it finds anything. All I can say about Norton is, I'm very surprised and very shocked that it did what it did considering the have been on the market for such a long time.

Kaspersky is still scanning the system but I told Kaspersky to scan the infected area and it didn't find anything infected. I tried uploading the folder contents to VirusTotal and it came back with an error because it could not connect to some URL.

You don't upload the folder to Virus Total, just the file that was detected. You could also try Jotti -- Jotti's malware scan

Kaspersky didn't find anything infected!

The only thing I can't understand is I didn't tell Hitman Pro to get rid of the infection. Not unless Kaspersky found it but didn't alert me of it. Who knows...

In the cloud, Hitman Pro scans with G Data (BitDefender + Avast! engines), Emsisoft (Emsisoft + IKARUS engines), ESET, Prevx, and Dr. Web (unofficial).

The false positive is from one of these, usually Prevx these days. You can check in Hitman Pro which engine(s) have detected the threat (or false positive in this case).

The best thing would be to report the false positive to the vendor(s) that detected it but if you were to email Hitman Pro they would fix it on their end.
