i remember AVG creating some log files at the root of each & every drive. .vbs may point to some script virus. install avira without protection module over avg, update it & scan whole system. slowdown can also be caused by avg. have personally experienced it long ago.

vbs extension is usually the extension for executable VB Scripts, just check if its a script file by opening it in notepad.. DONT DOUBLE CLICK AND EXECUTE IT OPEN IT IN NOTEPAD AND CHECK..

Seems a worm...

Scan your computer by Avira.

Get avast and update it, next run a through boot time scan.

Also get spybot search and destroy and scan you system for any kind of malwares
