View Full Version : Malicious script trying to load ODBC.HTA

Every time I boot up my NAV recognizes a malicious script
found at C:\WINDOWS\ODBC.HTA. Before I request NAV to
stop the script, I pull up task manager and notice that
mshta.exe is trying to load. When NAV stops the script,
the mshta.exe dissappears. I'm not sure if the two are
related. I'm contemplating renaming odbc.hta. But it is a
hidden system file. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanx in
advance.

Try running your anti-virus in safe mode?
