Step Two

1. Click the Start button and type Task Scheduler.

2. In the scheduler, click on Create Task in the correct Action sidebar. Please do not choose Create Basic Task, as this would not grant us higher permissions for our program's execution.

3. It will prompt for a tag, which I like to call Disable BITS. Leave out the description; it is superfluous.

11. Select New and navigate to the Disable BITS.bat file that we created in Step 1.

12. Choose the Optional check box and press Next.

13. Clear all check boxes in the Conditions column.

Additionally, uncheck the box next to "Stop the mission if it runs longer than" on the Settings page. Select OK.

That is it. Now, once the Background Intelligent Transfer Program is invoked, our special role will execute and execute the code that will eventually terminate the service and prevent it from accessing our sensitive data.
