[SOLVED] RealtekUpdate.vbs

[arshiafaraji22]

Hey there,
My antivirus was keep telling me to delete RealtekUpdate.vbs because its a virus.
So i did and right now everytime I turn my laptop, This error pop up:

I did reinstall Realtek but its still same.

I would agree that a vbs (visual basic) file that says it is for a driver update is suspicious at best. There is still something in the start up that is trying to execute that file. You will have to look through the start up options to see if you can find the reference.

Look in scheduled tasks also.

Autoruns utility can show you where that is. It’s in the startup Run section

Thanks for all replies.
Today, that error did not pop up. Even I did not do anything to fix that.
I checked startups and there was no suspicious program.
I don't know how to use Task scheduler to find out why that happens.
And I could not find Autoruns utility in startup section.

And I could not find Autoruns utility in startup section.

It's not part of OS. You have to download it first.

So in scheduled task section in Autoruns Utility software I found this:

I can delete it from here. Should I be worried of my computer security because of this file?
I already clean up most things and did clean registries and did scan computer with malwarebytes and esed nod32. There was no threat

Yes - remove RealtekUpdate.vbs entry.
MBAM and antivirus should have cleaned up everything. Probably no reason to worry.
