 | its not CTRL+ALT+Delete, if u end the process itll start again, it doesnt make it easy to delete, my advice wud be if ur having problems with internet or somthing, delete taskeng.exe, and if deleting it causes problems like these folks say(who arnt very specific on wut it does), then simply restore it from your recycling bin Joel |
 | it was made by an evil corporation to take over the world by spying and stealing our pornz! =O FT |
 | Its Task Manager file.Remove it if your system shows to you Qaiser Raza |

 | This program is used like cmd.exe if ou run .bat files with Windows Vista's Task Scheduler Thomas |
 | Everytime this file is running in my PC, a weird sound/music starts. When I close it at CTRL+ALT+Del window, the sound stops. Hagane |
 | taskeng.exe, when not located inside the windows registry, is probably malware. I had a lil problem, but since I stopped the process and deleted the file, nothing's happened so far. Delete the wrong taskeng.exe, however, isn't healthy for your OS. Dicey |
 | taskeng.exe just appeared on my XP SP3 system after windows updates (8/12/2009) but may not be related. It does not have version info. It attempted to listen on a port in the 31000 range and was caught by my firewall. It resides in the "Application Data" folder. It appears under the HKCU Run registry entries. Tim |
 | das is ne systemdatei omg die ist vollkommen harmlos außer sie ist bei euch wo anders gesavt dann ist es wohl möglich ein virus die anderen reden bullshit no comment |
 | Its a program and it crashes henk |
 | This is the file that handles the CTRL+ALT+DEL menu for vista users pandaboy |
 | It's not dangerous at all. It's a Microsoft file that is used for Windows Vista. I suppose they can take up some memory if many pop up. It's used to schedule tasks. If you are paranoid and think you are infected, I suggest using anti-spyware/anti-virus scanners. It is suggest that you don Dan. |
 | I know Its not dangerous and its not a virus, its simply a schedualer of tasks, i have no idea were aaron is comming from |
 | @aaron: there's always a chance that malware is disguising itself as Windows components, always check the path. Taskeng.exe's proper path is in System32 Maave |
 | First i see someting says taskeng.exe and my processes stops working java stops and firefox.exe stops abd much more . Kris |
 | If you have the Problem with to much .exe's, just check if the computer is to hot! This saves your computer to burn! GTAVC |
 | Task Scheduler Engine From Microsoft Corporation AKA Windows schedular. Not required to run on startup. P.S. aaron you have linked to a post which does not include this process. |
 | This is the CTRL+ALT+DEL controlling process. If you stop it or delete the file on Windows Vista or older operating systems, the computer will do nothing when you do a CTRL ALT DEL. On Windows 7, which I use, i can stop the process, because doing a CTRL ALT DEL will get you to a screen with a lot of options, including Change Password, Logout, etc. And quitting this process will not prevent you from doing the ctrl alt del. BTW you can open Task Manager by right clicking the tray and selecting Open Task Manager MalkKnight |
 | I just installed Windows XP pro SP 3 1 day ago, after installing some programs I found TaskEng.exe in a folder called Sys32 in "My Documents" and My firewall caught it trying to connect to an outside source multiple times. I did a virus check on it and its clean. But I'm still paranoid by the fact that it attempted to connect to an destination so many times... Below is a link of the SS I took it attempting to connect the an IP... See also: Link Dave |
 | It is a virus we are all talking about 2 files 1 from windows and 1 from the virus, how easy can it be to use the same name than a windows core file ? anyway the file(virus) wasnt locaded in mine windows map but in a other map whit almost the same sub maps dirk |
 | This file is not dangerous. In fact, it's part of the Windows 7 Task Scheduler. Corey |
 | Task Scheduler Engine via Microsoft, used to schedule automated & triggered tasks inside the windows environment. You may see, change, disable/remove the tasks that the engine runs via taskschd.msc and clicking on Task Scheduler Library (Admin rights may be required, disable tasks at your own risk) See also: Link z7 |
 | it's part of the automatic task scheduler from windows Angry Hobo |
 | Windows 7 process initiatior. Initiates processes for HP Support Assisstant and Defrag.exe. Deletion may cause computer malfunction. |
 | I have two that show in the Task Manager processes list. When i check the file path i only see the one path to sys32. Any ideas??? Richie |
 | It's Windows scheduler, allowing my HP laptop's to run its "HP Advisor" system check and providing relevant advice. See also: Link Lucia |
 | This is very annoying, and a resource stealer. Turn it off / Delete it if your PC is laggy. It isn't dangerous, But its not the task manager. Task manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) Is the taskmgr.exe file. The taskeng.exe Is a Task Scheduler engine. For updates and stuff, i think. Just turn it off, and do updates manually, as your firewall will update itself. Nick |
 | It is part of the task scheduling system. If it is stopped, tasks you set will not run and windows may not log on correctly Willowbe Wanderby |
 | This file is safe. For every taskeng.exe you have running, that's one task that your OS has set to run at a predetermined time. For example, if you are set to defrag your computer as you restart or at 2 am, you will have one taskeng.exe. Some viruses hide themselves as taskeng.exe, so if you see one with a large size and in a file besides System32, you should run a scan on it. Jackal |
 | taskeng.exe is a Task Scheduler Engine from Microsoft Corporation belonging to Microsoft® Windows® Vista/ Windows® 7 Operating System. Task Scheduler Engine is responsible for running certain process at pre-defined times so it is obviously not advisable to remove it. See also: Link Keys |
 | Use Process Viewer, its free and way better than Task Manager joe |
 | This file seems to start a string of dll32's ie. PHPZVK.dvb -- this file appears. It continues to grow (the dll files) till the internet no longer works. David |
 | Add on: This does not interfere with logging on and such. It interferes with scheduled tasks like you would set in Windows 95/98. It is supposed to be on your computer. Nick |
 | it's part integrant of pc. don't remove!!!! alberto |
 | i know it slows your internet way down. It also causes computers to lag. mr knows it |
 | taskeng.exe is the task scheduler engine... aka Scheduled Tasks. See also: Link momywiw |
 | Its a process that queues processes and calls them, relax people. Paul |
 | If found in C:\Windows\System32, it is an integral system file. Some viruses disguise themselves as taskeng.exe (Task Scheduler Engine), however, so if found in a different directory with a large size, it may be dangerous. |
 | It is sometimes a virus. Constantinescu Andrei |
 | could be used to host malware, however could also be used to contain task scheduling DLLs related to Windows 7. Use process explorer to examine the DLL and Handles (opened files, mutex , etc ) it has in order to inspect anything suspicious If it consumes too much CPU, dump it and inspect it and then kill it |
 | i used control alt delete after i deleted it on task manager and it works normal my computer doesn't see it coming up any more Infinite65 |
