FWIW, PC Anywhere does NOT set up any scheduled tasks. What you are seeing is something left over from a Norton Anti-virus install, which uses their "Live Update" to update the virus defs. --- windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: 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?
