Sony VAIO – SERVER.VBS

Server.vbs is part of a program called "ZTGServerswitch". Part of Sony's VAIO support agent, it comes pre-installed on Sony VAIO computers. This program can be helpful in gathering information about your system when troubleshooting problems with Tech Support. If you don’t need this function, you can remove the program.
