c / for task engine window appears while booting

A c prompt (c /) windows for the task (taskeng.exe) engine appears whenever I start. Recently, I had deleted a conscience (client.exe) and the problem started after that.

Good reading this - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/what-is-taskengexe/526f43d3-d311-4637-a19a-a76f1ce351fb and the http://windowshelp.net/windows-processes/taskeng.exe.aspx ( ) No download anything, just read for more information) you had 'adware' possible is a left above.

Update your AntiVirus and run a scan completes.

Then download, install, update and run a full scan with malwarebytes(free). Keep it free, no need to enter trials etc. See if scan detects and removes malware and if so, if the problem occurred again.

Have a search on your system for "taskeng" (without the quotes) and see what happens and where it is located. According to the 2nd link you can find it in C:\windows\system32 (although its there on my PC as well). If its reported no matter where it may also be a further investigation. You can find copies reported records 'X86_microsoft-... ' (X 86 for 32-bit system) in the C:\Windows\winsxs folder as well.

You could also have a look in the [command] "msconfig" [startup] tab column, to see if something is SEO from there and if so to continue the investigation. in search type "msconfig" (without the quotes) in the results click "msconfig.exe".

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    Windows, then closing, checks all open programs. If there is, it sends a request for the program to close and wait until the program closes safely, to avoid any loss of data. But, Windows is waiting for some specified
    If you are sure that none of the programs are obviously open, you can try the following steps:
    Press Windows key + r, Type regedit and pres enter. If UAC prompts, click Yes. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> expand System-> expand CurrentControlSet-> click on command (exapnd no do this). When you click (or select) control, you can see WaitToKillServiceTimeout. Double-click it to change the value. Set the value to 500 or less than that. Click Ok, and then close the registry editor. Now, restart the PC. If the problem persists, stop and try again and check.
    Be careful with registry access as incorrect values or remove the unknown keys can prevent Windows to start and it will fix it.

  • Windows 7 poster waiting for the host window for spot on the restart or shutdown

    Every time I have shut down or restart my computer, I get a screen that says "Waiting for task host window" I tried to clean the registry, I did a chkdsk, I ran sfc/scannow several times now and this issue will not go away.  I am running Windows 7 64-bit with 4 GB of ram. I also tried to apply the patch, but I always get "this update is not applicable to your computer."

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the forum of the Microsoft community.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    1. have you done any hardware or software changes to your computer recently?
    2. What is the brand and model of your computer?

    'The Taskhost' is a generic process, which acts as a host for the processes that run "DLLs" rather than "Exe". Starts, it checks the registry services part to build a list of the DLL-based services it needs to load, then load them.

  • While using the FF browser, a window appeared, telling me I had an outdated version and should upgrade and it will not install or I would uninstall to re

    First of all, I have Windows XP/HE/SP3 and my main browser is IE8, although I have also have Google and had, FF V #21. And when you use the FF browser, warned that my current version was exceeded, etc., even when I just installed V #21 only 1 week ago but I took word FF for her and clicked on (x'd) to install the upgrade. The application (AP) used for installation was called "Optimum Installer" and had the word "Firefox" in smaller print in the upper left. This diff seemed AP I used to install just 1 week before, but since I used IE8 install FFV #21 initially, I thought that the FF browser used this AP "Optimum", so I did. The small window and then said, "you have chosen to open this file" and yet there is no option 'open' to 'save', or cancel. So I x'd on 'save' and my Norton File Checker jumped up to tell me this file is 'safe '. But subsequently no installation window appears, then I tried to DL the file again and still no windows installation after a total of 8 attempts. I finally found the configuration file in 'my documents' and opened it and x'd for install. It seemed to work ok, tho even once, I was asked a lot of questions on doing them so and these my default browser or search engine, or home page, etc., and even others, but I declined, I think, but of course not a misunderstandings possible. in any case, the AP told me that I had managed to install this new version of FF. So of course I wanted to open it and see how it would work and I am went to my task bar of the bar/notification to X on the icon of the globe and instead it showed a 'setup' icon I put my mouse beneath him and he says "Mozilla Firefox" so I went ahead and x'd on it waiting for FF to open. Instead, a small warning telling me I had to restart for the installation to complete, I did, but no change. Tried at least half a dozen times and nothing new in or no, version of FF works now on my pc. I tried to look at the support, but no answers, then tried to uninstall and it don't let me do this, it keeps saying that "your computer must be restarted to complete a previous update; Yet who already has not worked. Also, I went to a #21 a v #13.0.1 with 77 MB + space V, which is more FF #21. Now, I think this version is corrupt and really don't want, but cannot get rid of it. I even tried to reinstall V21 (also of IE8, since I don't have FF browser now) and it goes up to a point, but also tells me so I can't get this V21 until I complete an installation/upgrade from another version. So basically, I have what I believe is a software on my pc, corrupted/malicious who is called Mozilla V #13.0.1 - I cannot get rid of and also impossible to reinstall the version I had, less I complete installation of the one I have, but don't think that I want now. Remember also, I can't make suggestions of in the browser of FF that have been suggested, because I never saw, only IE8 and Google... Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Usually when you see messages like this when you start the computer, this means that a file has been uninstalled, but the reference to this file in the startup list remains intact.

    When the Start Up of the list (the programs that start when the computer starts) is read the system searches for this file and of course can't find it, you see the "not found" error message

    Press the Windows Logo key + R to start the box run.

    Type msconfig.exe in the Open box, and then click OK.

    Click the Startup tab.

    Expand the command column and look for the line with the same name of _NowIntoDT.vbs .

    Remove the check mark from this line.

    Click apply/OK.

    Restart the computer.

    Let us know the result.
