I am seeing too much sluggishness with my Laptop and the HD access light is glowing always green. Seems a sign of some kind of Virus.

Does there exist any application/utility which can tell me as to what all process are high on disk access, there exists already 1 application like diskmon from sysinternal which tells the sectors/Blocks that are being read by from HDD. But I want to see which application is actually taking up all the disk access...?

Any such Application/Utility Available.
