  Hi forum,
  Avast  notified me of a Rootkit detection, which on reboot was not listed... however upon reading about their nature, i decided to run MS Rootkit detection- ther results listed C:\Windows\Prefetch\CMD.EXE-087B4001.pf
  Can anyone tell me if this relates to Rookit and needs removing?
  
  thanks.
