Sometimes you think it's normal Windows behavior when there are 500 MB or so missing on your HDD, because some software is using it, or you have installed a game you forgot about and many other reasons but not the real one. Here are some things which are very suspicious, and no matter how much your Anti-Virus software tells you that you aren't infected, dig a little deeper and see what really happened. One thing that will help you is to know the main features of the public trojans, so you'll be able to react if you notice such activity on your PC.

- Its normal to visit a web site and several more pop-ups to appear with the one you've visited. But when you do completely nothing and suddenly your browser directs you to some page unknown to you, take that serious.

- A strange and unknown Windows Message Box appears on your screen, asking you some personal questions.

- Your Windows settings change by themselves like a new screensaver text, date/time, sound volume changes by itself, your mouse moves by itself, CD-ROM drawer opens and closes.

Please note that most advanced attackers will just spy on you and use your infected machine for some specific reason, and not perform any of the above "tricks" so as not to cause any suspicious activity on the target system (as this would probably mean they could get easily detected). Someone that just wants to have fun with you is more likely to perform these actions.
