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).

I keep getting this error whenever I start my laptop.

**How can I fix this issue? Should I be worried about it?**Please Help!

Please share logs from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) and I'll help you remove the infection.

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/

  • If your computer language is not English, rename FRST64.exe to FRST64English.exe
  • Run FRST and press "Scan"
  • Two logs are created in the folder that FRST is run from, FRST.txt and Addition.txt
  • Upload the logs to OneDrive, Google Drive or any file sharing service
  • Post the share link

Note: If you are downloading FRST with Edge, smartscreen will initially block it.

Click on the 3 dots next to the warning and select Keep-> Show more-> Keep anyway.

    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    Download the Autoruns tool from the link below.

    https://download.sysinternals.com/files/Autorun...

    Then extract the ZIP file and run the "Autoruns64" file as Administrator.

    In the filter box in Autoruns, type: vbs

    Send a screenshot of what is found.

    Use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.

    I await your reply.
