I have spent several hours looking for a link or information on whether "Internet Service Offers" is a good or bad thing. I inadvertently found that a task called "Internet Service Offers" has been triggered and runs with highest privileges and triggers every 30 minutes. I'm new to task scheduler with very little information. Should I get rid of "internet service offers" or disable or forget about it? I'm running Vista Ultimate.

No, my PC is HP m8067c running Vista Ult.

After more research in scheduled tasks, I believe this is something the manufacturer incorporated into my PC and it is not a service I need. I will delete it tomorrow, if no one else thinks it is beneficial or needed. I have deleted two scheduled tasks related to extended warranty notification. I think the scheduled tasks section on my PC or anyone's PC bears looking into. Is it a place where malware could reside and kick in at a certain time or under various conditions? Thanks all of you for taking a look at this.

you can safely delete such scheduled tasks but until you uninstall the program causing it from add/remove programs it will keep on popping up

Thanks so much for the info and help.
