File Request Viewer?

I had a program a couple years ago that was a free/single file executable that would show all files requested on the hard drive. I can't remember the name of it right now though.

I need to find the program/remember the name. It was a real time viewer of files read from/written to the hard drive (target drive, if it was a read or write, etc).

Some guy who's computer I cleaned ended up getting the same nasty trojan/virus that about a dozen scanners are unable to find. Random startup name and nothing to really reference.

When I close dllhost.exe it reopens...so having the real time file scanner would allow me (it also has a pause option) to view the files being opened/closed when I close dllhost.exe and the virus opens it back up. Repeat a few times (depending on the level file activity as the list can move upwards pretty quickly sometimes) and I'll be able to start doing research once I know WHAT files are being accessed. Does anyone know of that program? A couple other traits: it was a single file (no installer), small size, it's freeware, and it's icon was yellow like one of the old windows file managers.

Sounds like something sysinternals would put together.
