When I open Task Scheduler ( to see why my computer is constantly waking up), One of the tasks that is running most of the time is "{40FB3F52-2FCA-4681-B74E-C02A274D0F21}". Properties Details are C: WINDOWS\system 32\pcalua.exe-a "C:\Program Files (x86}\ Delta Virtual\DVA-OFK-Uninst.exe" -d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Delta Virtual" Any ideas what this and why is it running all the time? Can I just disable it without messing anything up?

Ok but what does that have to do with DVA. Thanks for your reply.

It's running because the uninstallers are older software designed before Windows 8. Does it stay running after a reboot?

Cheers!

I am running Windows 8.1. I have disabled it and three other tasks related to DVA. I'll see what happens over the next few days. My computer started waking up everyday at the same time and stays on all day, about a month ago. I have it set to sleep after 15 minuets. Task manager shows nothing running. I have not added or changed anything recently. Very frustrating.
