Microsoft Sysinternals Process Explorer
Monitor running processes

Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.

The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you'll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you'll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.

The unique capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work

Winsonar 2008 Ultimate Edition

Winsonar 2008 is a program specifically designed for process monitoring and system protection from unknown processes. The basic idea is that if the user could know a new program silently installed into memory, he could take appropriate countermeasures.

The program detects new processes running into memory alerting the user. The on-line status is also detected, asking then the user if an automatic termination of any unknown process is desired (this option can be also enabled by default). This leads to an active protection against trojan\spyware-infected e-mail attachments.

From version 7.xx an automatic "learning "feature is present: on first 5 program-startup all unknown programs will be accepted as safe, avoiding several initial alerts by Winsonar for all the programs normally in use during work sessions.
