Do I have a genuine rrrrootkit? Massimo 04-21-2008

Hello,

I did a full scan of my system with Avira virusscanner Free Version
and it found nothing.
Then a rootkit scan with Blacklight and it found nothing
After that a rootkit scan with Trend Micro's Rootkit Buster: it found
nothing.
Finally I did a rootkit scan with Avira's Anti Rootkit Tool and it
found this:

Results:
Hidden key :
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1614895754-796845957-682003330-1004\Software\Microsoft\Protected
Storage System
Provider\S-1-5-21-1614895754-796845957-682003330-1004\data
Hidden value :
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1614895754-796845957-682003330-1004\Software\Microsoft\Protected
Storage System Provider\S-1-5-21-1614895754-796845957-682003330-1004
-> migrate

Now I am not an expert and I am asking myself what to do with these
findings.
Do they point to a rootkit? And if so, what should be my next actions?

Thanks,

Massimo

I wouldn't worry much about it, I have the almost same key in my system,
mine ends in 1003 instead of 1004, but that may just mean different OS
version.

Thank you for your reaction.
And why should I stop worrying about *my* rootkit only because you too
have one?? :-))

Allow me to re-phrase that. I don't think it's a rootkit.
