Rootkits are an insidious form of malware that can often hide from conventional methods of detection. The security firm McAfee has released a free program called McAfee Rootkit Detective 1.0 that is described:

McAfee Rootkit Detective 1.0 is a program designed and developed by McAfee Avert Labs to proactively detect and clean rootkits that are running on the system.

The software will detect normal, safe processes as well as dangerous ones so you should not delete or remove anything without some knowledgeable advice.
