http://www.whatsrunning.net/Great piece of utility program for Windows 2000, XP and 2003.
It not only shows what's running in your PC, it also has lots of other information.
Take for example a legitimate Windows process, winlogon.exe
It shows you the File Version. The File Version is useful in telling whether that program running is legitimate.
In my case, it shows it's by Microsoft, so I can be assured that it's safe. No malware.
It also shows the modules loaded (not really important to an average user, unless you want to know what's happening to your PC).
The Services tab shows what services are running on your PC. Not too much of a concern for an average user again.
IP Connections tab shows all the connections that are opened, listening or awaiting closing. Much better than a firewall log. But it doesn't protect you from anything. Very useful when your Net surfing speeds slow down a lot and you want to find out what's happening.
Drivers tab shows the drivers installed on your PC. Don't think that you have so few devices, you will have few drivers. You will be surprised!
Startup tab shows the programs that start when Windows starts. You can disable and enable them via here, without ever messing with msconfig. Useful for a newbie.
System info tab basically shows your system specs, but not in much details. It's better to use Belarc Advisor or CPU-Z for a much more detailed system specifications.
