Is root kit a virus and is it dangerous and how can you remove it?
A rootkit is a collection of programs that enable administrator-level access to your computer. A rootkit may consist of spyware and other programs that create a "backdoor" into the system for the hacker. So basically, a rootkit is a way for hackers to gain access to your computer so that they can create get more viruses behind your firewall.
Yes, rootkits are dangeroes.
Rootkits are very hard to get rid of, because once they're there, they can "hide themselves". You can never really be sure if you have rootkits or not, because they often don't cause so much trouble. In modern times, rootkits are used as spyware to find private information, such as credit card numbers. The only way to really get rid of a rootkit is to completely erase the computer's hard drive and reinstall the operating system.
What is ConsentPromptBehaviorUser 0x00000003 in the registry and what should it be?
There are many references to this key, but most only show possible settings of 0 or 1. That is because those articles pertain to Windows Vista; In Windows 7, support for a setting of 3 was not only added, it was made the default setting.
Microsoft Technet published an article about UAC Group Policy and Group Policy Settings that applies to Windows 7 and Server 2008. From the site:
The User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users policy setting controls the behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users.
The options are:
Automatically deny elevation requests. When an operation requires elevation of privilege, a configurable access denied error message is displayed. An enterprise that is running desktops as standard user may choose this setting to reduce help desk calls.
Prompt for credentials on the secure desktop. (Default) When an operation requires elevation of privilege, the user is prompted on the secure desktop to enter a different user name and password. If the user enters valid credentials, the operation continues with the applicable privilege.
Prompt for credentials. When an operation requires elevation of privilege, the user is prompted to enter an administrative user name and password. If the user enters valid credentials, the operation continues with the applicable privilege.
The three options listed above correspond to registry key values of 0, 3 and 1, respectively.
In summary, it is a new feature to Windows 7: When an application needs admin rights to do something, normal users by default will get a UAC prompt with a darkened background (i.e. the secure desktop). You can change this to prompt without the secure desktop (value of 1), but you will be more prone to keyloggers and other data miners discovering your password.

Can a stand alone computer be infected by a virus?
Yes it can. These days the Internet is the source of the vast majority of viruses.
However, there are very many viruses which can be transmitted via 'removable storage media'. By this we include floppy disks, USB sticks, CD's, DVD's, external hard-drives etc. Do not connect any such storage device unless you trust the computer it was previously connected to - unless you have A.V. software which will scan it for you as soon as it is connected.
All the very early viruses were transmitted by physically moving floppy disks between machines. (known as 'sneaker-net').
