Ad Aware detected win32 Rootkit Agent

I did a full system scan this morning with Ad Aware 2007 Free Edition and found a file called win32 Rootkit Agent. It was the only one displayed on the infections list, but below it said 5 infections detected. I use XP Pro. How do I get rid of this root kit? Strange though, last night I was doing my Friday scans and I did check for Rootkits with AVG Anit Rootkit Free Edition. I did a deep scan with AVG Anit Rootkit last night and found no root kits then. I didn't since go online till today. So I told Ad Aware to remove this win32 Rootkit Agent. I did a second full scan to see if it was still there. It no longer displays on the infections list, but Ad Aware still says that there are 5 objects detected like it did with the previous scan, but yet none of them are displayed in the infections list. Aren't rootkits used by hackers? Am I being watched or something? How do I make sure I don't have this root kit on my computer. And if I do have it how do I get rid of it?
