    VBS.Scrapworm is a worm, normally this worm spreads through the infected email. Normally this worm scans all the email address present in the Microsoft outlook address book and then sends infected email to all the address present in the address book. If your current antivirus software is not able to delete this VBS.Scrapworm from your computer system then you must change your antivirus software.

    You are not able to delete this worm from your computer system because of the simple reason that this worm alters the windows system key so that it can launch againg at the time of reboot.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\ScanReg = "WSCRIPT.EXE SCANREG.VBS"
    If you have the knowledge of registry key then you can remove this worm manually

    For removing this VBS.Scrapworm from your computer system I will suggest you to use kasperky antivirus software. I am suggesting you to use this antivirus software because I was also suffering with the same problem of worm and now my computer system is free from any kind of virus or worm. This antivirus software will not only remove this worm but will also remove other malicious codes which can harm your computer system.
