Run netstat -a -o | find "9090"
and have a look at the far right column. That's the Process ID (PID) of the owning process. Match it up with running processes in Task Manager.

@Evan Anderson answer did not work for me cause I got a message
FIND: Parameter format not correct
so I replaced the Find call with a powershell Select-String
netstat -aon|sls 61456
TCP 127.0.0.1:61456 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 31796
finally I open Task manager and looked sort the PID column looking for 31796
Update
Usually I want to kill these processes so here a powershell script that does not need manual intervention
netstat -aon|sls 5000|%{("$_".substring("$_".LastIndexOf(' '))).Trim()}|%{
$id=$_
Get-Process|?{$_.id -eq $id}
}|Stop-Process

Did you ever install Zeus admin server or Zyxel VoIP or CiscoSecure on that machine? Other possibilities include a Trojan such as Aphex's Remote Packet Sniffer or the IANA WebSM designation.
Take a look here or search the web for port 9090 or any other for that matter.
You can always do a basic intrusion testing using the GRC ShieldsUp! service.
