How to fix or remove this "Windows Script Host" issue?

Question

I started getting this message every time I load up my PC, I got a WSH error code 800700E1. I tried looking it up in Microsoft Community and found something similar that said to delete the Run.vbs file and restart.

I did, and I got the 2nd alert that says Run.vbs can't be found. And trying to look this error up comes up with other Community threads that don't pertain to what my issue is. Please help.

Answer 1

Run.vbs is malware, and your antivirus software seems to have deleted the file.

To have your system thoroughly inspected, please do the following:

• Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST64.exe) [See also: Collect Farbar Recovery Scan Tool logs.]
• Rename FRST64.exe to EnglishFRST64.exe.
• Run the program and click "Scan".
• Upload the two logs, FRST.txt and Addition.txt, to your OneDrive and share the link here.

Answer 3

Download FixList.txt

Save Fixlist.txt in the same folder where FRST64.exe is.

Close all program windows.

Launch the Farbar Scanner tool and click "Fix".

Upload the output log file (FixLog.txt) to your OneDrive.

Answer 5

The script ran fine, and you should no longer get the Run.vbs error at startup. McAfee or Malwarebytes seems to have deleted the rogue files already.
