[SpamCop-List] Track TCP/IP transmissions made by background processes

[Jeff]

I have some background processes that are running that I can't stop.  When I try to stop them, they
simply spawn a new process and rename themselves as a .exe file with a random 7 character filename.
Neither ad-aware nor Microsoft's spyware software detects them, nor does Norton Antivirus.  I'm
assuming these programs are either sending or receiving transmissions over the internet without me
knowing.  Is there a way to find out if they're transmitting or receiving data over the internet?
