Detects signs of NetSupport Manager (client32.exe) establishing multiple persistence mechanisms simultaneously or in quick succession, including Windows service creation, Winlogon helper registration, Registry Run key modification, scheduled task creation, and keyboard filter driver installation. This behavior is indicative of unauthorized use of remote access tools to maintain persistence on a host.
