1- witch application is creating a file in my windows xp or 7 (because most of viruses create files and i(most people) now which file is necessary for my(their) system and which one suffer the system)
2- is there any running application that is not shown in task manager(i know it is possible by writing kernel mode program) it is probably a malware .
3- all running services. (some viruses like conficker create a hidden service with a strange name but it is not shown on services)

This sounds like quite a task; I would suggest you take a look around some of the CodeProject articles for some ideas.

To monitor Files, you can use a file system watcher and register events which will respond when a file is created / updated / deleted.

To get all running services use the ServiceController.GetServices() in System.ServiceProcess Namespace.
