| Hans | Das Original gehört zum Windows Betriebssystem. Durch falschen Gebrauch kann man sich erhebliche Schwierigkeiten einhandeln - Ausführung von Befehlen als SYSTEM. |
| Sarky Marky | MSTask.exe - runs scheduled MS Tasks (Does exactly what it says on the tin) Only dangerous if your task that you schedule is spyware. Don't use it myself cos I like to live on the dangerous side of life! |
| Joe | although the original mstask.exe is harmless this has been hijacked and my versoin is in the \winnt\system32\dllcache with a size of 122K - it attempts to go out to the net, and my suspecions were hightighted when my personal firewall said the original task had been replaced with this one. |

| trevor | mstask.exe i had to delete from registry. but it can be disbled in system configuration utility under startup program. It was shutting my computer down as soon as windows started. virus related i think. added link to troubleshoot See also: Link |
| Choong-il | It monopolizes CPU time and makes Windows terribly slow. If you didn't schedule anything to be run on a specific time and it's running, it must be a virus. Kill mstask.exe, Window will be back to normal speed. |
| Karen | It was the only thing that asked to run when I started up my browser. Given what is said here, I denied it access. |
| Columbo | It starts at... "Start Up." I use Glarysoft's StartUp program to disable it. Now my comp starts up quicker. |
| Omer KARAKAS | It is Schelud Tasks application file of Windows. If you have no scheduled work. It shouldn't work See also: Link |

| David | making the computer run 100, slows everything down. IE barely runs, AV and firewall, along with ASUS dont respond need a way to kill it, cant even search for it, took me five minutes to get to this site |
| james BONDS | its ms task scheduler. if you go into scheduled tasks and see no tasks scheduled, go ahead and disable the service |
| sweetrosette | i went to the Symantec website and saw the following instructions: ".....Scroll through the list, and look for the following process: msstask.exe. CAUTION: This is not the same as Mstask.exe--note the single "s". Mstask.exe is a legitimate Microsoft process. Do not end that task." |
