been round a friends house. she has windows 98. everytime she boots her machine she has a vbscript that wants to run. her firewall manages to tell me what the script is, help.vbs. when i delete this file and go to run another program it reapppears. now most files will use the rundll32.exe and i at first thought it was a trogan inside this executable, but i have downloaded a fresh copy of rundll32.exe and pasted it into her windows directory. the vbs file keeps spawning itself along with another file, help.html. anyone any ideas?

cheers

I think you have a virus. Run a decent virus scanner (I'm using Norton AV at the moment, but Grisoft AVG is free). Also try running Lavasoft ad-aware.

 

Yep, a virus. A quick gooling turned up:
