Obtained through another website that was discussing this issue, there is Microsoft's KB article "How do I reset Windows Update components?" located at How do I reset Windows Update components? which might help. Going through the support steps it details some of the mentioned tasks in this...

Thanks for the great response Mike! I completely agree with you and can confirm some of this is in place for the strictly university-owned systems, but what we deal with is specifically not owned by the university, but rather students, faculty, and staff through their private purchase. We...

Only recently have I made the effort to start being a part of the online community in terms of support forums. Previously I held them only to be resources for searching for information, but at this time I feel I can provide some insight so I might as well when I can. I also like to read so why...

Is it when you try to visit a website directly or is it when you are clicking a link in a search engine such as Google or Yahoo?

After thinking about it more and more I finally resolved to replacing the jscript.dll in the system32 folder. Once I did this and then re-registered it I was able to get javascript running again successfully. Just as a note, since this is a system file you will have to take ownership and rename...

Also, the suspicious files had a shortcut to the main application with the title of Internet Antivirus 2011 along with two firewall rules that had been added for the application. I feel this machine has become corrupted from it.

Javascript will not run in IE 8 32-bit under Windows 7 post malware. Will run in IE 8 64-bit version. Previous description: EDIT: Original problem seemed that is was an ActiveX problem, but now it seems that the issue is actually the running of Javascript in IE8 32-bit. It has been reset and...

I am always amazed at the devoted within forum communities. Your work is impressive.

This is the exact thing I was seeing as well. The way to make it go away is to delete the registry key noted in this thread. Please note however, that I have found the "parasite" zone under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE as well. When that happened, it was not under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER tree. The zone...

I just wanted to say that I was also registering here only to confirm this has worked multiple times. I work for a university help desk and we have noticed issue with our network access client launching. After trying to check services and getting this error message we tracked down this...
