Hi all, I hope someone can help. All of a sudden I have a qttask running in my start up, when I went to msconfig, I found c:\windows\qttask.exe. I have never seen it before and do not know what it is and or if it is malware, or spyware. I have checked with windows and microsoft. They come up with a blank when I search for it. I found you when I took the search to the internet. I ran spyware blaster, spyware doctor, a2squared malware and it comes up clean. I have Nortons antivirus. So do I have a spyware that is not recognized yet? Or is it a program that was downloaded that I knew nothing about? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Have a good day. Linda

Just incase anyone is wondering this in the future and doesn't already know, qttask quicktime's process, and seems to be entirely harmless.

I'm having a royal time trying to get rid of the qttask.exe file. I have seen some of your answers, but for the life of me when I go to regedit, I don't know where HKLM is. Anyway, I understand it's not really destructive, but it's become a matter of wills now, and I will prevail. Please, can someone help me get this off my computer.

For future reference
HKLM is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKCR is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKCU is HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKU is HKEY_USERS
HKCC is HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

The legitimate QuickTime file should be located here:

C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe

or here for 9X

C:\Windows\System\qttask.exe

May be something Something sneaky...
