Disk Scheduling and Task Scheduler and different terms. Disk Scheduling: Input / Output Scheduling or I/O Scheduling is a term used to describe the method computer operating systems decide the order that block I/O. Task Scheduler: Task Scheduler is a component of Microsoft Windows that provides the ability to schedule the launch of programs or scripts at pre-defined times or after specified time intervals.

Generally, taskeng.exe is not a virus. It's a component of the Windows Task Scheduler subsystem. If the file is located in the system32 directory it's a legitimate part of the OS. If it's elsewhere on your system, it could be malware masquerading as a legitimate Windows component.
Task scheduler
You are thinking of the Task Scheduler.
Windows Task Scheduler can only run when Windows is actively running on your computer (it is in system memory, the system is powered on, etc). Therefore, you cannot program Windows Task Scheduler to turn on your computer at 2AM, since the computer would be turned off. It would first need to be turned on in order to have Windows Task Scheduler turn the computer on (a Catch-22). Instead, look at your BIOS/CMOS configuration and see if it as an "alarm" feaure. Some BIOS code will allow you to program your motherboard to automatically power on at a certain time. This is notably true in older motherboards, but some newer motherboards might also have this feature. You should contact your computer's manufacturer or check the manual if you are unsure of how to access your BIOS configuration.
Hmm. Perhaps you mean the Task Manager? It shows all the programs and services that are running on your system. If you Crtl-Alt-Del, that will bring it up.
