Other than appropriate software, any symptoms to detect or suspect that rootkit? For example, IP activity? Unexplained processes? Excessive CPU time? Unexplained disk activity? Disabled functions? Registry entries?

Never looked at Systeminternals Rootkit Revealer because I never saw any reason to need it.
