Finding what's using the CPU

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and every so often something starts running which
uses a significant amount of CPU and network access. I can't work out
what it is because it's "niced" and top excludes nice when sorting apps
by CPU usage, and I can't find a way to make it include nice. Can anyone
recommend a similar tool to top which isn't so helpful to potential
malware?
