Root's crontab may be present for some legitimate applications. A few anti-theft products use root's crontab in pre-10.4 systems since the preferred method using launchd isn't available.

The best thing to do is 'sudo crontab -l' to see what the crontab contains, and then 'sudo crontab -e' to edit it and remove any offending lines.
