Multiple tasking.exe running...a virus threat????

I have 2 taskeng.exe running, yet none is related to any service. In the command line it shows just the following: taskeng.exe {44585811-5B5D-4197-ABC1-ACED8F518508}, the other shows a different number and sometimes blank. None is present in the task scheduler library. When pressing file location, it opens in Windows/system32... is this a virus?

The best way to know for sure is to run a scan with your trusted AV software.

A google search suggests it is related to Scheduled Tasks. Do you have any tasks set to run on a schedule?

As I said in my 1st post, the tasking.exe listed in the command line in task manager don't match any of th scheduled tasks in the task scheduler library!!!! And they are not related to any services in task manager... The description of the tasking.exe in the command line keep changing, and I am unable to figure out what they are for!!!!!!

Is the process in question tasking.exe or taskeng.exe? I'm confused because you list both.
