That all depends on EXACTLY what you mean by "monitoring". Monitoring what aspects of a single application or any application or applications running on the machine? Which aspects of this/these applications do you want to "monitor"?

Is this for a Windows OS?

Have a look at sysinternals suite- there is a tool called DiskMon you could try:
DiskMon for Windows[^]

Thanks for your reply. Currently iam developing a application antivirus which can monitor the PC and check for the suspicious activity on the PC. Diskmon is a application and i can't integrate it in my application

you didn't mention any programming in your question... but I'd start with FileSystemWatcher https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.filesystemwatcher(v=vs.110).aspx

FileSystemwatcher only show that file has been changed, but can't tell us about the changing application, i mean any virus or suspicious application :)
