RootKit

[torbob]

I was checking Spy Sweeper's logs and they indicated a possible rootkit:

H9GUFFP6

Spy sweeper did not identify path on my pc or file extension. I did a search via MS Search program and indciated to include hidden files and folders. The search did not find anything. I did a WEB Serach (MS and Google) and also a mMajorGeeks.com search. None of the searches found any references. The Spy Sweeper database was not very helful either.

Does anyone hae any insight into the name?
