Taskeng.exe won´t be detected

[Mibub]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with some of my computers with the Taskeng.exe malware.
By analyzing my computer with Kaspersky Total Security, it will not detect anything, but I know it's there.
How can I get rid of it?

Hello @Mibub, Welcome.

Can you please describe your problem with 'taskeng.exe' in more detail?

If the file is located in 'C:\Windows\System32' it is most likely the Windows Task Scheduler.
If it is in another location, it could be malware.

Hi, it's outside 'C:\Windows\System32', it is indeed malware. A window will pop and slow down my system. I ran the analysis in safe mode in hope it would work, but it didn't.
I just bought a Kaspersky licence in hope that it would get rid of it, but no.

Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.
Step 2: Run SFC (System File Checker) to restore the corrupt or missing taskeng.exe file.
Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.
