I have a ASUS' gaming laptop too. And the cscript.exe is popping up after the latest Framework Update. Nothing to worry about it though.

Hi there skyrile, I will be your Independent Advisor for today, I hope we can both resolve your problem.

cscript.exe is safe, it is part of Windows, it is a Scripting Host which runs script files.

But if you would like to know if your PC has viruses in it you can follow the steps below.

Lets start by downloading the free version of Malwarebytes, it is a freeware that you can use to scan, detect and delete viruses like the one you currently have.

You can download the free version from this link

https://www.malwarebytes.com/

Once installed please make a full scan. You may remove this software once you are done with it.

And follow these additional steps.

To get rid of it we need to check first where the file is located most likely it is hiding in one of your folders.

If it pops up do not close it instead open up the Task Manager, click on more details below then look for the open process associated with the pop up, if you cant see it in the process tab go to the details tab and look for that process then if you see right click it and then go to file location and then once you have located the file delete it.

Remove temp files and unwanted addons in internet explorer.

Go to start type in Internet options, Under General, Browsing History click Delete, Tick the box for Temporary file, History and Cookies then click delete. Go to the Programs Tab then click on manage add-ons, look for any unusual addin there then remove it.

Uninstall an unwanted application in Programs and features,

Go to start type in Control Panel, then go to Programs and then programs and features then go to the list of the programs look for anything unusual or any application that you are not aware right click then uninstall.

Delete Temporary files off Windows 10.

Tap Windows Key then R on your keyboard, on the Run box type in %temp% then press enter.

Once it is up highlight all then delete, if there is a file open that cant be deleted just skip it.

Hope this helps.
