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.

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.

    No, it didn't reboot. So, I had to restart the laptop. As of now, I'm not getting any error. I'll reply here if I face any other issue.
    Thank you!

    Hi, it looks like it removed everything successfully and all Windows Defender related settings are good. It should only take about ten seconds at most before it reboots.

    Are there any more alerts or errors?

    Can you tell how much time this application takes to fix? It took like an hour while fixing and after a while the application was frozen (not responding). So, I had to close the app without finishing the fix. Please help me out here. I've uploaded Fixlog.txt in this link

    This should sort things for you.

    • Download Fixlist.txt and put it in the folder FRST is in
    • Run FRST and press 'Fix'
    • A reboot is needed

    Upload Fixlog.txt and let me know how things are running.
