Anytime you run into a VBS file it's more likely than not a virus.
Windows Scripting Host is an open invitation to viruses. It's the method used most often by virii. You can really help yourself by disabling this 'very seldom used' Windows option. Also to make it easier to see viruses, enable 'show file extensions'.
Show file extensions Go to My Computer > View > Folder Options > View and unselect 'Hide file extensions for known file types'. Remove 'Windows Scripting Host' Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Windows Setup > Accessories > Details and unselect Windows Scripting Host
