The error message you are encountering, "can not find script file 'khiere.vbs'," is usually related to a missing or deleted script file. It appears that this issue is specific to your dad's PC and has something to do with Microsoft's browser, Microsoft Edge. To resolve this problem, you can try the following steps:
1. Disable startup scripts: Press Win + R on the keyboard to open the Run dialog box. Type "shell:startup" (without quotes) and press Enter. This will open the Startup folder. Look for any suspicious shortcuts or scripts and delete them.
2. Check the registry: It's good that you have already searched the registry. However, it's important to be cautious while modifying the registry as incorrect changes can cause further issues. If you find any entries related to 'khiere.vbs' or 'Edge', consider creating a backup of the registry, then you can try deleting those entries. To back up the registry, follow these steps:
a. Press Win + R, type "regedit" (without quotes), and press Enter to open the Windows Registry Editor.
b. Click on "File" in the menu bar, then select "Export".
c. Choose a location to save the backup file, provide a suitable name, and click "Save".
3. Run a full system scan: Use an updated and reliable antivirus software to scan your dad's PC for any malware or infections. Malware can sometimes mimic legitimate files or scripts, so a thorough scan can help identify and remove any malicious components.
4. Reset Microsoft Edge: If the issue is indeed related to Microsoft Edge, you can try resetting the browser to its default settings. Here's how:
a. Open the Start menu, type "Settings," and click on the corresponding result.
b. In the Settings window, select "Apps" and then click on "Apps & features" in the left-hand sidebar.
