    What's the history behind the file?
    Where did it come from?
    How long has it been there?
    How did you find it?

    .vbs->Visual Basic Script file (Visual Basic)

    These can be nice and or very harmful files.

    It first showed up 4 days ago. I was alerted to the script by McAfee Firewall.

    I can't find it on my computer and the warning hasn't been given since this post. I'm not sure what I was doing at the time, I think trying to remove files through XP Control Panel. I was also having problems doing that, something about a missing log file. If it happens again I'll get more details. In the mean time I'll run Ad-Aware.

    Thanks

    Hi HotTuna,

    The file was most likely in a temp folder - IE's cache or some other temp folder as part of an install or something that was attempting to run.

    Regards - Charles
