File purpose and description:
Server.vbs may have been installed on your computer and may have also arrived as preinstalled software. The hard drive location for this file is also shown below so you can verify this is not spyware or virus related, as often spyware or adware related programs will use a similiar file name as a good file, hoping to fool you. This server.vbs file is a script file that runs everytime you bootup your computer. This is part of the Sony Vaio computer software and it's from support.com, it uses the key ZtgServerSwitch. This does not need to run if you do not wish to use their support. This file is considered safe and is not virus or spyware related. (See the details below for the actual location of this file.)
Actual file or task name:
server.vbs
File type:
This is a visual basic script file
File or folder location:
This will be found at c:\program files\support.com\client\lserver\server.vbs
General information:
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes.
You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows
"task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active
on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they
get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files
on your computer, for example, server.vbs may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very
similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist
as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned.
You can always find the location of server.vbs on your computer by using your Windows search options, but
I will also try to list the file location of every file described on this website, so you can verify the correct location. You can view the entire tasklist directory with the link below.
