Are there any third party process monitoring applications for Windows XP that will tell you what application is currently accessing the hard drive? I have a nasty little program hidden somewhere on my computer that is accessing my hard drive all the time at seemingly random intervals, even when I'm not doing anything resource intensive. It doesn't seem to be using a lot of CPU or memory when I search for it in Task Manager, either. I'd like to find out if it's just my anti-virus scanner, or something more malicious. Any suggestions?

Use task manager.
