Can not find script file "C:\Users\Public\Libraries\Checks.vbs".

Question

Anyone can help to get rid of this error "Windows Script Host"??

Answer 1

Hi Joshua,

When did this start happening? This sounds unusual...

I’d entertain a system restore to before it started happening:

Click on Start - and type "control panel" and click on it

Once open, search "recovery" and hit enter. When it comes up, click on recovery.

On the next page, open "open system restore"

They'll be a box that says "click for more restore points" that I would click. Choose a restore point (before this happened), and follow the prompts.

** Please note, all your files and photos, etc will be fine. Any applications (ex. candy crush) you've installed since the point you're going back to will be removed. Just a heads up **

Then, once your PC is restored...

https://www.malwarebytes.com/products/ - download the free home version (make sure you opt out of the free trial of their active anti virus while setting up)

Watch out for ads on the sites that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

Download and install Malwarebytes. And run a scan. This will clean up anything still on your PC (if anything)

Let me know!

Hi Joshua

The solution is to basically recreate that file and put an exit script into it

Open Windows File Exporer and navigate to:

C:\Users\Public\Libraries\Checks

If the file Checks.vbs exists:

Right click it and open it in Notepad

Replace all the contents of that file with:

Wscript.Quit

If the file does not exist in that folder, right click and choose New - Text Doument

Put this text in that file: Wscript.Quit

Then click File - Save As

At the bottom of the save as dialog, set save as type to *.*

Save the files as Checks.vbs

Note you must enter the vbs file extension yourself

Restart your PC
