I originally found this on Lazy Genius.

This is cool. Joanna Rutkowska has developed a new rootkit detection tool — System Virginity Verifier. Download link.

You can read about it at Rootkit.com. She also has a powerpoint presentation here.

She has other tools on her download page.

Note: This is a technical tool intended for an advanced user. If you’re just getting in to rootkits, I would start with the Sysinternals Rootkit Revealer.
