what is wscript.exe??

This started happening yesterday. I googled it and it says it’s a trustworthy file. Here is a screenshot. As you can see it happens a lot and always at 13 minutes after the hour. If it’s not a bad file what is happening and how do I stop it? It’s very annoying.

It seems this file can be manipulated through malware. I’ve run my avast and it didn’t detect anything. Just need to know how to fix this. Thank you.

Attach your basic diagnostic logs. (MBAM and FRST)

Hi,

download the autoruns from here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns and go to tasks page. Look for task which spawns wscript. I may have name staring with Yahoo.

Delete that task and you will get rid of this.
