How can I detect what is happening with PC, Laptop - any software available?

I noticed transmission and receiving on both D-Link and cable modems frequently. Usually I find that McAfee is being updated, and sometime Dell and Microsoft.



The cable company provides spyware filtering, and anti virus checks.



But watching the modems transmit and receive persistently without me doing anything - I need a software or some advice about monitoring what is going on inside my PC and laptop (I have three computers networked to the D-Link wireless router).



I have kept all sensitive information off line on the CD, but this is very inconvenient. So I would like to ensure that my PC has not been compromised.



What can you suggest? What software is available?



Where do I get the tools I need to monitor what is happenning?



Thank you.

Process Explorer is a handy tool that might help. It will show all applications running and what is taking up memory. You can close programs. Anything you don't recognize can be found online by just typing in its name to a search. Maybe your spyware filtering is letting something through. Do you use adaware to check for spy/adware? I've tested spybot, adaware, and windows defender and adaware seemed to be the best but they are all good.
