I have a couple of vbscripts I'd like to run on a regular basis (like every 10 mins) on a windows server. The scripts are operating properly, but as far as I can tell windows doesn't allow scheduled jobs more often than once a day. Currently I'm considering using cron on a linux box with

This is purely malware, and the hooks are deeply tied into the IE browser at this point. head over to the MS site and look for sysinternals and the process explorer. it will find processes that are obfuscated from task manager and give you something to look for and help purge from your system.

I tend to agree, if you're *only* installing cygwin for cron, just use the AT scheduler in windows. On windows boxen I owned in the enterprise, I would install cygwin and ssh services on them pretty much default, using bash, cron, and other components extensively, but our windows folk didn't
