boot.vbs is not a Windows file that I am aware of … .vbs files are Visual Basic Scripting files and may have been loaded by some application you have installed or may be part of a Virus / Trojan hacking attempt … (the other possibility is that it’s part of a customised School (or Company) Domain log-in process ..)
Plainly Windows has been ‘instructed’ to RUN this file at start-up.. either by the Registry or by something in Start / Programs / Startup …. (check that first)
If it’s not something in the Startup folder, you will have to check the Registry = I suggest using HijackThis to see what’s being RUN…
You might want to consider using WinPatrol or similar to prevent future stuff being installed to RUN without your knowledge ..
These days a lot of software tries to ‘run’ at boot-up … this allows them to ‘preload’ themselves for quicker launching .. the downside being that everything that preloads at start-up adds to the already unacceptable start up delays .. especially if the ‘uninstaller’ ‘forgets’ to remove all the Registry entries and your PC is trying to RUN stuff that doesn’t exist anymore ..
Other software installs ‘phone home’ components that randomly use your Internet connection (and can lockup your PC if the web is down) in order to ‘check for updates’ (or, in the case of Dell Printers, inform Dell of every page you print so Dell can send you junk eMails of the ‘your Printer is almost out of Ink please click here to be ripped off (pay excessive prices for our ink)’ type…
