I have ran Process Explorer, Code Stuff Starter but nothing shows up in the
list as using this 25-30% of my CYP. I also updated and ran PestPatrol,
NortonAV, etc but nothing is detected which is why I think I have a
rootkit
that has patched the kernel and therefore not allowing any of these
programs
to detect it.
Anything else ?

First check to see what processes are running. TaskList is built in but
I
would recommend.

Get to know your machine and what processes are running normally. With
25-30% CPU it should stick out like a sore thumb.
Oh yeah don't run as admin (see )http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis.

I have noticed that my XP system is behaving like I have a rootkit.
- My mouse is jumpy (it freezes for a second when I move it around the
desktop) and the minimized Taskmanager in the systray shows I have around
25 - 30 % usage, but when I open it, there is no process listed using
this
much.
- I did a netstat, fport, openports and none of these show that I have
any
odd ports open or any connections established.
- even when I disconnect from the Internet these symptoms do not stop.
They
stop if I reboot, but then start again.
I have ran VICE, Klister, PatchFinder and RkDetect from rootkit.com and
they
could not find anything.
Any more suggestions ?
Any more rootkit finding tools for Windows ?
Thanks
Bill
