If you are unable to find the file killvirus.vbs1 and if you cannot find any
reference to script.exe or wscript.exe under the Startup tab in msconfig.exe
then you can silence this barking do by giving it a bone. The following
command, when executed in the Start/Run box, will do it:
notepad c:\windows\System32\killvirus.vbs
Place a space into the file, then save and close it. Note also that the file
you reported (killvirus.vbs1) sounds unlikely. If it is a script file then
it must have a .vbs extension, not .vbs1.
