Worm:VBS/Agent copies itself to various locations on the infected machine and modifies the registry to redirect various user actions into unwittingly executing the worm copies.
Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it will either move the file to the quarantine where it cannot spread or cause harm, or remove it.
Note: disinfection will remove the malicious VBS files (including files detected in the Alternate Data Stream) but will not repair system damage inflicted by the malware.
Caution: Manual disinfection is recommended only for advanced users.

A False Positive is when a file is incorrectly detected as harmful, usually because its code or behavior resembles known harmful programs. A False Positive will usually be fixed in a subsequent database update without any action needed on your part. If you wish, you may also:
Check for the latest database updates
First check if your F-Secure security program is using the latest updates, then try scanning the file again.
Submit a sample
After checking, if you still believe the file is incorrectly detected, you can submit a sample of it for re-analysis.
Note: If the file was moved to quarantine, you need to collect the file from quarantine before you can submit it.
Exclude a file from further scanning
If you are certain that the file is safe and want to continue using it, you can exclude it from further scanning by the F-Secure security product.
Note: You need administrative rights to change the settings.
The suspect file is written in Visual Basic Script (and may also be detected as Trojan.VBS.Autorun.[variant]). Infection is triggered by executing the file with wscript:
Upon execution, the malware will attempt to perform the following actions:
