Hi,

Do not use USB until we fix your PC.

Please download Anti-VBSVBE and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

[*]Double click to run the tool and wait until it finishes.
[*]It will make a log named Anti-VBSVBE.txt. Please attach it to your reply.
