Not sure why I'm getting this error message. I eliminated the vbs file after Windows Security detected something was up and after running a full scan on command prompt. Unfortunately, that pesky message just keeps showing up every time I boot up. Please help T.T

    Hi, My name is Estrella, and I'm a Microsoft user like you. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. I'll be more than happy to help.

    Download the Autoruns tool from the Microsoft Sysinternals website: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/...

    From the link above, click the 'Download Autoruns and Autorunsc' to download.

    Extract the contents of the ZIP file to your computer.

    Right-click Autoruns64.exe for 64-bit System and choose run as administrator

    In the search box, type startup_str_801.vbs or vbs

    Scroll down and look for the files

    Right-click on it and hit delete.

    Confirm deletion.

    Restart your computer and check.
