Yeah that's true. I was just pointing out that there are ways to detect rootkits. Blacklite as mentioned being another app. I just didn't want to post a link to something that could end up with someone removing registry entries or files that were in fact fine.
Also, when using RKR you must not use the PC while scanning since this also causes false positives to be produced. The sysinternals site gives a lot more information on rootkits and how they're detected for anyone really concerned.
