It is a service used by Windows to allow execution of VBScript. It is not necessarily dangerous, but if a dangerous script is downloaded it will appear as if wscript.exe is the culprit, when it is really a seperate script file (usually .vbs). You should not delete wscript.exe, many Windows services require it and our computer may not function properly if it cannot be found.

It is used to allow more scripting features - this in itself is not dangerous in any way, but it is sometimes used by virus'. You won't be able to remove it as it is a windows system file.

It seems that it is disguised as a proper windows scripting host, however, looking at the code embedded in the file placed in my flash drive by the virus points toward wscript.exe in the system32 folder
