How do I fix this problem with windows script host.

Question

When I leave my computer alone for 5 minutes or more something pops up on my screen that I will show a picture below of. It was something I downloaded in late 2022 that was like a robux miner (Which is a Roblox currency). I deleted it because some allegations came up about it and deleted it. Now it thinks its still on my computer and that keeps popping up. I don't know how to get rid of it but its on the windows script host. P.S sorry about the glare in the picture I cant help it.

Hello. this is Emily.

Download this free tool: https://learn.microsoft.com/sysinternals/downlo... click Run now from Sysinternals Live. It should download the file. You can go ahead and run it. Then use the spyglass icon to search for "line.vbs" and see if it finds any. If so, you can right click and delete. Then on the next startup, you should not encounter this pop-up again.

If it cannot find it, go to the scheduled tasks tab, find each highlighted (yellow) entry where it says "file not found", delete those records. Restart the computer after that.

Let me know how it works.
