The rootkit scanners from Kaspersky/ESET/Malwarebytes aren't good enough to detect them?

Even if they were - do you really want to trust them that they found every single piece of the rootkit and that there's not something sleeping undetected, loading stuff and running the rootkit again? Do you really want to trust that pc with online banking, email logins and other stuff?

Well I'm not even sure if I've got rootkit there. Just want to be precautious.
