Windows Script Host Error

Hello everyone. After scorching the internet in a pursuit to find an answer I am now resorting to asking my question here. The error popped up not that long ago. A month at best. I also realized that it's only happening when the laptop is plugged in. And it seems that I am the only one with this very issue since most of other users had an error with "Run.vbs". At least I couldn't find any. Does anyone have any solution to this?

Please run this fixlist.

  • Download fixlist.txt
  • Save Fixlist.txt in the same folder where EnglishFRST64.exe is.
  • Close all program windows.
  • Launch the Farbar Scanner tool and click "Fix".
  • Upload the output log file (FixLog.txt) to your OneDrive.

    A scheduled task may be executing the script when the computer is running on AC power. This could indicate a miner infection. Please run the Farbar Scanner and share your logs.

    • Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST64.exe)
    • Rename FRST64.exe to EnglishFRST64.exe.
    • Run the program. Don't check or uncheck any options. Click "Scan".
    • Upload the two logs, FRST.txt and Addition.txt, to your OneDrive and share the link here.

    Note: If Microsoft Edge or Chrome mislabels the Farbar Scanner executable as PUA/malware, choose to keep it by tapping … in the bottom bar, choosing Keep, and then choosing Keep anyway in the dialog that appears.

    Glad the error is resolved now. A scheduled task triggered the script file C:\Users\arsho\Documents\task.vbs. The task.vbs was already deleted from your system, so I don't know what it contained. The fixlist removed the orphaned task.

    To remove files/folders created by the Farbar scanner, rename FRST64.exe to Uninstall.exe and run it. The procedure requires a reboot.

    This is it. Thank you. The problem no longer exists after I ran the scanner. What seemed to be the problem?

    Fixlog.txt
