Click Start > Run and type Regedit.

Step 3.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

In the right window, look for 'Rundll=RUNDLL.VBS'. Highlight this key and delete it (Right click and choose delete).

Step 4.
Exit the Registry.

Step 5.

Congratulations, VBS/Freelink has now been removed from your system.

NOTE: VBS/Freelink searches for MIRC32.EXE and PIRCH98.EXE chat programs in C:\MIRC, C:\PIRCH98, C:\PROGRAM FILES and the sub directories of each of these directories. If either of these programs is found, it will modify the corresponding SCRIPT.INI file or EVENTS.INI located in the same directory. This will cause links.vbs to be send to other users during IRC sessions.
