Hi,

If you go to the controllpanel and check under Scheduled Tasks is F-secure scanning added here? or is this just blank?

Hope this is what you are on about as don't no that much about computers  thank you for replying

Could you try and for example sett it to do a scan Weekly and wednesday. To see if it will work on selected time tommorrow? And make sure the computer is on at this time. There isent any point of doing a full scan every day, Sence F-secure have a Realtime scanner. Once every week or month should be enough.

 

What i was asking about is the scheduled taks that you should find under Start - Controllpanel.

Hi,

 

try to remove the task and recreate it using the F-Secure GUI.

 

Additionaly I see "Ad-Aware" on your system and other duplicate tasks.

AdAware is a kind of malwarescanner as well and is competing for ressources with F-Secure!

Your skype also seems to have problems...

A different user on the internet solved thisproblem by restoring a rescue point of Windows from an earlier date and that fixed the issue.
But I have found something else from the internet, after following the instruction, try to set a new sheduled task in IS2011 (maybe with a different time, just to test).
Here is the guide:
To troubleshoot this issue, I would like to propose the following suggestions.



1. Commonly Task Scheduler task image is located in : C:\Windows\System32\Tasks, please delete related corrupted image in this folder and see if the issue occurs.



2. Delete related registry item in the following location.



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tasks



Please locate to related folder with the same ID displayed on the error message, and delete this item.



Note: Pay attention to back up your registry before doing any modification.
