JerryM Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 What is this? It shows up at various times, and I had to shut the power off today, Is it helpful or can I shut it off or schedule it? Thanks, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrine Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 It is a "scheduled task" that can be removed, disabled, or changed.

JerryM Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 generally, pc / lappy mfg's load all sorts of crap that they think is helpful. generally it can all be disabled. on a toshiba, anything beginning with "toshiba", hp, beginning with "hp", dell, "dell" etc. ad nausium. Thanks, Temmu. I don't know much about what is needed and what is not. I have wondered if all the "hp" stuff and "Toshiba" stuff on my computers was needed. However, I have been afraid to remove or disable them. It is apalling how much junk the makers put on their systems. Regards, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
