That's pretty easy. Fire up wireshark, look for packets heading to google- owned addresses.
Kill off processes one by one until you see those packets stop.
You have found your culprit.
If you check for packets moving but see nothing, it only proves that it's _currently_ not recording. It's the capability that they _can_ turn it on via a push update is what get me.
