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..

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
