| Jul 24, 2012 at 11:15 | comment | added | MrWhite | I don't have much in scheduled tasks, and nothing recent that would seem to cause this. I had glanced over msconfig previously, but I am now comparing the msconfig-listed start programs with task manager running processes to see if I can spot any anomalies. The SanDisk (mp3 player) is not connected on boot. | |

In fact, if it is a task that was created with a program’s installer (or worse), I imagine it would not have the login credentials available to add to the task. Incidentally, Autoruns shows tasks as well, so it’s a one-stop-shop. | |
