It is very interesting that this person is on a company LAN and is 
looking for rootkits.  What makes you so paranoid?  If you don't trust 
the local IT department, a lot of cleaning needs to be done.

Does your company have a policy that states key logging will be 
installed?  If so, you have no recourse but to comply.  Failing to abide 
by IT rules in most companies is immediate cause for dismissal.

However, I work as a contractor for the U.S. government and they have 
forbidden the installation of such software unless the person has been 
advised they are under investigation by Criminal Investigators and that 
they have a legal right to gain evidence (again, the 5th Admendment 
forbids this unless you are advised and then you have the right to say 
"NO" or to request legal assistance in the form of a lawyer.)

Looks like someone needs to find a lawyer.  You need their advice if you 
can proceed further with what you  are doing.
