how to find programs that are running in background

I am having trouble with defraging and scanning C drive
because a program is causing them to repeatedly start over
the process. I want to find that program and stop it from
running. Thank you for your time!

ScanDefrag will efficiently run MS or Norton utilities, the
log will list all the running programs and Restrictive Mode
will make every effort to stop the ones that should not be
running. See the ReadMe for more info.
