Question

There is a task in my scheduler named "USER_ESRV_SVC_QUEENCREEK" author: Intel Energy Checker.

Anonymous

It starts the program, "C:\Windows\System32\Wscript.exe" with these arguments: //B //NoLogo "C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\QUEENCREEK\x64\task.vbs"

What is this and what does it do?

System Resources?

Answer 1

This looks like a totally unprofessional job. Here is why:

The task uses wscript.exe to invoke task.vbs.
Task.vbs invokes task.bat.
Task.bat invokes task.exe

Any half-competent programmer would use the Task Scheduler to invoke task.exe directly. I suspect that task.exe is/was malware that got deleted by your virus scanner. I would now disable the task itself.

Answer 2

Contents of task.vbs:

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

objShell.Run("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\QUEENCREEK\x64\task.bat"""), 0

Set objShell = Nothing

Contents of task.bat

"C:\Program Files\Intel\SUR\QUEENCREEK\x64\task.exe"

I couldn't find the "task.exe" executable in a windows search

If you post the contents of task.vbs then someone might be able to tell you.
