MS10-092, specifically this support page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2305420
although it deals with a problem in the task sched caused by a windows update, the actual problem is exactly the same, with the same corrupt task messages.
this is the correct way to solve the issue, it takes a few steps but it's not difficult. just follow it closely, and only fix the tasks which are an issue in your system.
