If pcanywhere setup that task and used the user's credentials (not sure
how it'd do that without prompting the person for his password), then
that should further prove that pcanywhere is a pile of junk.  That, and
the user error of allowing a task to be scheduled under his logon
credentials is what caused this, I'd say.  If the user just changed his
password recently (if you ask, you'll probably get a lie for an answer),
this is expected behavior.  Tasks aren't updated when a user changes his
password.

Can you use a different account for that task or schedule it with AT?
