Hi there all,
As the Title here may suggest, I have a recurring Windows script error that appears every time I start up windows.
To be exact, it reads:
Cannot find script file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\killVBS.vbs"
I have found one thread on this site regarding this, and after reviewing what I could find on other sites' threads; I have decided to come here seeking assistance.
I have both the latest version of Ad Aware 2007(free) and Spybot Search&Destroy (free) plus a copy of CA's AV program. I have run scans with all of these over the last two days, and despite Ad Aware and Spybot both finding a collection of tracking Cookies, nothing in regard to the above script warning has been found.
I believe I contracted this trojan/worm, as it had been referred to elsewhere, through either using my USB stick on one of the PC's at the local net cafe or when I used my Laptop at the same net cafe (in Thailand, Bangkok). It all begun after I had been there.
I no-longer visit this cafe, as fortunately I now have the net up and running in my apartment.
I should have gotten onto this sooner, but have neglected it up until having had the time now. Possible Symptoms of this as seen through the computer are: extreme sluggishness, occasional crashes, screen flickering.
Some of these symptoms are perhaps not due to the script warning, but I am guessing that at least the sluggishness is.
My Laptop is not that new and fancy, an IBM T20 with a Pentium III processor and only 128mb ram and a 30gig hard drive (OS is XP). Nonetheless, it has run MUCH faster in the past than it is doing so now.
Apologies for the long intro. I'm assuming that if anyone can help me they'll want a Hijackthis log file posted up here to refer to. I will get onto that now, just thought I would put the feelers out and start the ball rolling.
OK, please if anyone can aid me on this it would be extremely appreciated - it's hopeless trying to get things done on a PC that's running slower than a MAC truck being pushed up hill.
Cheers.
