Hi there!

I was wondering... How does CCleaner detects those Scheduled Tasks?

I'm asking because, for example Autoruns does not detects those CCleaner does - interesting fact and quite great! :)

Btw, those detected by one and not by the other are related to pcaula.exe - which point to inexistant executables (most of them, at least) and therefore i'll assume it's safe to remove them all, but i was just cuorius how those are found, never heard of them before.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

info about pcula.exe

pcalua.exe is the Program Compatibility Assistant. "The Program Compatibility Assistant is an automatic feature of Windows that runs when it detects an older program has a compatibility problem."

Ok, nevermind... i just realized they were hidden under Autoruns because i set not to show Microsoft entries. Well, nice CCleaner is showing them always :)
