I tried to disable and it would not let me.

 

I looked up what you said as I didn't understand it I'm not very technical when it comes to computers.

It says it's a administrative script. I can't write any programming language's and neither have I ever used or herd of power shell before now would it have been a program on my machine that wrote it?

It doesn't list it in the list only internet explorer is listed I think it may be to do with chrome.

 

It's a very interesting tool I like the virus total site i found because of it. I have 1 question about that why is it a lot of my programs under the virus total section get 1/64 in red from virus total. I am assuming these are the things know as a false reading.
