When I start up my computer in the morning, I get a message from Windows
Script Host: Cannot find Script File "C\Program Files\\folder.js". Can
anyone tell me what that means and how to fix it?
Thanks

Hi beau,

The startup entry "folder.js" is most probably added by a Malware.

When Troj/AdClick-CK is installed it creates the following files:
<Program Files>\folder.js
<Program Files>\WindowsUpdate\[name].dll
The file folder.js is used by the Trojan to create and register [name].dll
where the [name] is created on the fly by using the serial number of the
drive.
The [name].dll file is registered as a Browser Helper Object

Anyway, it looks like the actual script file (folder.js) had been removed
from your system by the anti-virus / anti-malware suite which you're using.
However, it's a good idea to do a thorough cleanup. Follow the URL below for
