Wanna see if you have Spyware on your computer but don't want to download scary programs to do it?
If you're running Windows 7 (and probably Vista can do this as well) press the windows key and type "Resource Monitor" and press Enter~

Open up the Network Tab and then the Network Activity Tab~
This menu is my favourite thing in the world. It says what programs are currently sending stuff to where on the internet.
Normal processes are things like System or the name of your browser (firefox.exe in my case) or Svchost.exe (network stuffs)

It also tells you where it's sending~ For example, since I have Facebook open right now, and facebook is annoyingly nosey and sending all sorts of browsing data to it's servers so it's ads are more accurate, the network activity tab is telling me it's constantly sending stuff to facebook urls.

If you've got programs sending stuff over your network that you don't want to be doing stuff, use the appropriate means to disable/uninstall/delete them! ^.^

Happy Browsing!
You can do something similar in any version of Windows from 95 up, by hitting Ctrl+Alt-Del, though in some versions, depending on your settings, it may pop up a little menu box first, in which case, click "Task Manager".

As an aside, the "Processes" tab will give a quick rundown of what programs are eating your memory and CPU cycles. This is good for finding spyware, worms, and crashed programs.

You can bring up the full Resource Monitor in any version from 2000 on by going to Control Panel > Administrative Tools, or by Typing "mmc" in the Run box, and adding the Resource Monitor snap-in. You can also use this to log resource usage over time, and even alert you when a resource passes a certain usage level.
