What software download is highly recommended for finding/removing rootkits?

by cdwright1 . Updated 16 years, 2 months ago

I believe my system has rootkits, and I want to remove them. I have Advanced System Care Pro, AVG Free, Malwarebytes'”. System slows down, I think it’s not running, and check task mgr. System is running and I run ALL scans, few adware/spywares and reg errors, no big deal. But I go thru this cycle 2-3x per day- even running defrag and system restore. Things would smooth out for a day or 2 and do it again, I believe I’m compromised but can’t find it. I suspect rootkits? I downloaded and ran Gmer, but it confused me. I believe it scans immediately, and promptly displays dicovered rootkits(?) but I couldn’t find any clean/delete option. Is there a better one out there that someone can recommend? I have Windows xP Home Edit. SP3. notebook. I prefer software that can be applied to Xp/Vista, as I have an HP (is Vista) I maintain as well Thank you, cdwright.
