    It is a VBScript file that can be viewed with notepad.exe. You can rename it with a TXT extension then it can no longer be executed. Looks to be a coin miner malware.

    It's a crypto minner, it comes from Step 3 - Setup_Install_Game.exe. You should delete it.

    I noted that after activation of this virus it change into:
    Startup Name: "windows"
    Command line: ""C:\Users\Fahad\AppData\Roaming\Windows"Updates Files\windows update service.vbe" (don't ignore dubbel ")
    and here open file location is disabled
    well i remove it by using malwarebyte trail but my 23 registries are damaged
