    you had some program thats no longer there and is trying to run. from the name I'd guess its malware of some kind.

    I don't think either one of thos links are right. I've never even heard of a program called taskeng! And as far as malware goes I've been running Spyware Blaster for years! ;v)

    I agree with Loony,
    If its trying to run at startup, got to "Run", type in "msconfig".
    Go to the Startup tab and see if anything under there. Disable anything that's under the same directory.

    Or if you dont know what you are doing, provide a screenshot of the Startup tab. Btw the "Item" and "Command" titles should be fully visible.

    according to windows, its a taskmanger loading programs on start up for windows 7. DID YOU AT LEAST READ THE FORUM provided by the links or even google "taskeng.exe". This most likely pops up cause you deleted a file, or uninstall a program that another program requires.

    you can use google to search for the Client.exe to see what it means .

    It dose not matter how good a mail ware virus program can be, now and again they slip the net .

    Maybe you can use you av program to do a full boot scan , clear out any mailware .

    ---

    But seams you're AV is trying not to a low it to be executed . mean it needs clean out , are program from stop it booting .

    are more about other types, not mailware .

    client.exe isnt what you look for, search extensions is. that sounds very much like malware to me. Running spywareblaster is not enough, you need malwarebytes as well.

    An even easier solution to this is to install a legit copy of Windows that is fully up to date with all update patches, followed by installing a decent anti-virus like Kaspersky Labs or ESET Nod32 (for payed AVs) and installing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. As it seems to me all of your Windows problems seems to stem from owning a pirated copy of the OS. Everything & I mean EVERYTHING you've been posting hints on this, including these:

    AS IF you'll read my post seeing as you said it yourself that you are ignoring anything I'd post on your threads anyway :p

    TL;DR version:

    I've had my legit copy of Win7 which are fully up to date with all relevant updates for two years now and never did I encounter the kind of shit you are experiencing. Same goes for when I got my legit copy of XP.

    I did encounter such problems when I still had a pirated copy of XP which was never updated for obvious reasons.

    Also steer clear of unfamiliar sites, as you can get virii and malware even by just visiting an unfamiliar site just once.

    its not necessarily from the pirate copy, mine runs fine, but then I know what im doing and I'm careful about what I install on it.
