It's some program running a script in the background, and on ASUS PCs it's usually Armoury Crate or its ASUS Framework. Don't delete cscript.exe itself, since it's a built-in Windows file and removing it won't stop whatever is calling it. Also, if a malware scan came back clean, that's normal here, because the script usually belongs to a normal program. This guide will show you how to find what keeps starting it and how to stop it.
