Jargon Virus

Jargon.vbs  is a  virus like the other viruses
1) the replication code
2) the payload

The job of a virus is to go forth and multiply (replication code)
and do something (payload)

So essentially, if your calculator software makes copies of itself onto different directories. it can technically be referred to as a virus.

There are thousands upon thousands of computer viruses in the wild. Since Man is an OC animal, he tends to categorize them.

1) virus - generic term for a program that makes copies of itself

2) trojan - a virus that pretends to be a different program.

3) worm - a virus that actively looks for computers to infect. yes, by itself.
It's like well, a worm..

4) adware - a virus who's payload is to show/popup ads

5) malware - trojan version 2. it does something useful but does harm in the
background. they should've called it politician.

6) jokeware - a vius who's payload is a prank.


Sooner or later, your PC will be infected by a virus. The damage will depend on the payload the virus has. It's not an IF, but a WHEN. No antivirus can block every virus since the disease must come before the cure (unless it's a conspiracy. See Outbreak movie).

Always always always have a backup of your important files. It's not the technician's fault if your files are gone. The only virus proof computer is the one that you don't turn on.

Here’s how you can remove JARGON.VBS from your computer and your infected flash drives.

  wscript.exe
  

  Repeat this step for all infected drives.
