Open VBS File

The VBS file format and extension was developed by Microsoft Corporation, with a dual purpose.

On the one hand, the VBS file serves as an executable file format, and also, it is a script file of the Visual Basic language.

In most cases, these VBS files are categorized as source code and program files for Windows PC.

When the VBS file is a script, it contains lines of code in the Visual Basic programming language and may be associated with other programs, as well as the Visual Studio IDE.

One of the advantages is that these VBS files are encoded in plain text format.

VBS and malicious programs

It is recommended to be careful when opening VBS files, especially when these VBS files are sent as email attachments by unknown sources, as they might contain malicious code and Trojans.

These VBS files can be opened as executable files on a Windows PC.
