Windows Script Host Error

Operating Systems & Open Source Windows
1

So I deleted what looks like malware. A .js called EduPanda.js and now wscript wont stop trying to run it and I am getting a Windows Script Host error

Can not find script file
“C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\EduTechDynamics\EduPanda.js”

This is popping up every few seconds. How do i make Windows Script Host stop looking for non existent scripts? All the guides I can find want to tell me how to remove malware or to simply reinstall it but non tell me how to stop wscript from trying to find a script. I already looked around in the registry and deleted all entry’s pertaining to it and checked by VBS entry and my Windows logon entries. I read the Microsoft documentation for wscript and no help their… I could run wscript in batch mode but I dont want to completely disable wscript dialog all together… Thx.

Well in any case I just recreated the directory and put a blank EduPands.js in it… Wish I could figure out whats trying to use it because I forget what created it in the first place.

Hi I know it’s very late but I stumbled upon this virus today and i’ve been searching for answers and I found the one, so basically you just need to search in windows “Task Scheduler” and in that you need to go to Task Scheduler library on the left side and search this for me it was named “River” it has a description for what it does I deleted that and this error immediately disappeard.
