    Avira AntiRootkit Tool found "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Control\DeviceClasses\{56907941-3AFE-11D4-AE2C-00A0CC242D2C}\##?#PCI#VEN_8086&DEV_24D5&SUBSYS_01571028&REV_02#3&172E68DD&0&FD#{56907941-3afe-11d4-ae2c-00a0cc242d2c}\#\Device Parameters -> playbacksamplerate" It says it's a value data mismatch. What is it talking about and should I worry about it?

    Well, I haven't used this program, but I have used Sysinternals' RootkitRevealer, and it detects cloaking by trying to read files and registry keys a bunch of different ways and comparing the results. However, if files or registry entries change while the program is running, they'll get flagged even though there's no problem. So I'm guessing maybe that's what's going on here. But that's just a guess.
