MSTask.exe - what's happening?

[Linea Recta]

127.0.0.1 (aka localhost) is a standard loopback address referring to your
own machine. Perhaps your PC is infected? I note the message refers to
Microsoft's Internet Information Services. Are you running this? Rt-click
My Computer, and choose Manage, Services and Applications, Services, then if
the entry is there, double-click it. Unless you have specific reason to be
running it, you'd know if you had, if it is started, stop it, and then set
the startup type to Disabled.

I couldn't find any mention of Microsoft's Internet Information Services.

Then check your AV software is running properly and up-to-date.

I daily check for antivirus & firewall updates manually. I did a complete
system scan and there were no infections.

I never heard of bespoke. I'm using an ADSL modem (SpeedTouch 330) connected
to USB port and with its Alcatel software.

Not surprising, it's not exactly a term that's normally used in that context.
However, the poster has impressed you with his vast vocabulary, that's all that
really matters.

The last time I heard that word, I was in second grade. Back when Ike
was having us go out in the hallway bend over and kiss our butts
goodbye.

People must be more easily impressed than I am. Perhaps the reason I have a
'vast' vocabulary is that when I see a word I don't know, I go and look it
up.
