X-RayPC

Yeah, you regularly run spyware scanners (you do, right?), but they don't catch everything. X-RayPC shows you everything that's running on your computer, and lets you terminate any process you wish. An online interface allows you to send the program list to its home server, and it reports back on whether any particular process is OK, known malicious, or unknown.
