From the info you're providing this does seem like "false" detections. You can probably disregard that detection and I would suggest only using the "Sweep for rootkits" option if you are experiencing problems.
Like most of the other rootkit detectors, Spy Sweeper's "potentially rootkit-masked files" detection is not signature-based - it is essencially looking for descrepencies between what is on disk and what Windows sees. Because of this there are several situations where it can flag legitimate files as "potentially rootkit-masked files."

I therefore think it's a false positive, but does anyone know why it would identify everything in that folder as a possible rootkit?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15315933 Tue, 24 Jan 2006 07:51:03 EDT
