I'm exploring my "new" Vista Ultimate machine and was looking over the Task Scheduler and found a bunch of tasks scheduled that start out with Google this and Google that, like this: GoogleUpdateTaskMachineCore.

Naturally, I am wondering why Google is running a task on my machine without asking. Seriously, anyone know why this is happing?

Thanks.
