[RESOLVED] About VBS?

On my computer, my antivirus only catches the virus I have when it tries to do something. When I scan the harddrive for viruses, it doesnt find it, but when it does something, my virus scan catches it. It says VBS.INI and so on. And it always says something different, I just used INI as one of the examples, like VBS.SYS. But it always says VBS in front of the file. This is the third time this virus has shown up on the computer, so, I think that I never really got rid of it. I have fdisked and formatted unconditionally, but it just doesnt work. Any suggestions? PLEASE HELP! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a million!

First off, what virus scanner are you using? It sounds like the scanner is picking up every file with VBS in the filename as a potential virus threat. I don't think you have an actual virus, just getting false alarms from your virus scanner. Not every VBS (Visual Basic Script) is a virus file, there are legit uses for VBS files.

If your program happens to be Inoculan it is definetly giving you false reading, Ive dealt with it once and hated it, I know its free, but like they say if its to good to be true it probably is. https://forums.windrivers.com/

We use InocuLAN at work (unfortunately) and quite often it will tell me that my Palm backed up files are infected, when they're really not. Half the employees in my office are Palm users, too, so I get asked about this quite a bit.
