Hi,

Often when I'm just sitting there reading or doing something that's not
bothering the hard drive, or right after it has booted up but I
haven't started
using it yet, I can hear the hard drive crank up and start making it's
busy
noises when it seems like there should be nothing for it to do. Is
there a way
to view what it IS doing? If so, can we tell if it's a virus or
malware or
something, and find out where they are so we can try to get rid of
them?

Thanks!

With Windows 7 and later, you can use the Resource Monitor utility
(Resmon.exe).

Thanks for this, Yousuf!* :-)

I pasted Resmon.exe into the 'Ask me anything' box and was amazed at
how much information was then at my fingertips!

Yeah, I sort of stumbled into Resmon by accident one day, when I noticed
an extra button at the bottom of Task Manager that I never noticed
before, and I clicked on it! :-D

I do things like that too! ;-)
