The Microsoft Task Scheduler allows users to schedule various commands to be run at a specific time, or at a specific frequency. Quite similar (although, less powerful) as the Linux task-scheduler "cron." Even if you don't schedule tasks, this service should be left as various antivirus programs and other security oriented softwares may use it to ensure their scans get run at appropriate times.
