If you do a search in Google for "mcxtask.exe", it points to a 3rd party system utility. Do you have any 3rd party system utilities installed?

I would do a search for the file name & see what folder it's under.

No, it's part of Media Center. There is a task in the task scheduler which runs this program to set file permissions on all of the files in your media libraries so that the extenders can have read/write access to those files.
