I find tdimon from sysinternals is also helpful when tracking suspicious processes that talk on the network.  It's like 
a sniffer, but monitors activity going through the transport driver interface in windows.  From this viewpoint you can 
often see processes in realtime as they make socket connections to remote systems.  This realtime context may reveal a 
different process name, or other processes communicating over the network at the same time-- I've discovered hidden 
proxy-trojan infections this way.
