Task Scheduler Kill Process

I notice in the Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) that QvodWebService.exe was Started whenever my computer was on.  Strangely, I could not Stop it from the MSCONFIG as it was not listed there.  So what I do was to make use of the Task Scheduler to Kill the process whenever my PC is on.

This method can be used to Stop any wanted window application.  It pays to check the Task Manager regularly nowadays.

1) Create a new Folder and Name it as for e.g. TaskKill

2) Open up your Notepad (Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad)

3) Copy and Paste the below 3 lines:

@echo off
taskkill /IM QvodWebService.exe /F
cls

4) Save it to your Folder KillTask as Filename (must end with .bat extension) for e.g. killqvodwebservice.bat

5) Use Task Scheduler (Program -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Task Scheduler) to activate the command whenever your Windows start.
