Windows Process Monitor
Haven’t seen much of this, but this can be really handy for detecting vermin and seeing what the hell is going on with your windows machine

Wanna see why your harddrive is getting trashed? Need to see what Netbeans is upto? This shows all file and I/O access on your machine, think of it as Etheral for processes. Great tool, and free.
The only caveat, tends to reboot your machine if you have a lot of stuff going on.
