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.

    Jó estét!

    Ugyan az a hibám mint az előző hozzászólónak! A hiba a következő: A „C/Users/appdata/roaming/wupdater_cloud/ytcheckts.vbs” szkript betöltése nem sikerült (a művelet nem fejeződött be sikeresen, mert a fájl vírust vagy potenciálisan nem kívánt szoftvert tartalmaz).

    Követtem a lépéseket és sikerült létrehozni a két dokumentumot: FRST.txt és Addition.txt- ket! Viszont nem tudom pontosan hogyan/hová kellene feltöltenem ,hogy tudjon segíteni!És hogyan tegyem közzé a megosztási linket? Az melyik? Kérem segítsen!

    I can't tell you exactly where this infection started. Possibly a fake browser update or a game hack/mod.
