Windows Script Host Error

Question

The error is: Loading script "C/Users/appdata/roaming/wupdater_cloud/ytcheckts.vbs" failed (Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software).

It seems to show up every time I boot up my PC.

Below I've attached two text files with the results from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool.

Thank you a lot in advance and I appreciate the help!
