You can reboot, close every single auto-start program you have, close anything not crucial, copy one Ethereum address to clipboard, paste it somewhere and see if it changed.
Then you could use Process Explorer to list every single running process, and run strings (form SysInternals too) on each one searching for the changed address. Unless the address is ...
