Hey there, Recently, when I try to access the internet (using MSIE 5.5) I cant download practically anything (some things get through... but very little) When I hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to access the close program dialog box, I see a process that isn't usally there, called 'script' When I disable it, the problem stops... I'm not sure where its coming from, but there's a script.exe in my C:\WINDOWS\ dir, however, there's also a script.doc file... & that's like some sort of read-me doc for a dial-up scripting language... Is this a virus, or is my computer telling me to re-format :( System: ASUS CUVX Motherboard Intel Celeron 600Mhz CPU 320 MB PC133 RAM 15 GB MAXTOR HD Running Win98 (not second edition) Generic 56k modem (dont remember the brand) Thanks in advance, J

Heh... I kinda made it sound that web-sites were making it through... not the case, NOTHING is downloading... (though instant messengers work) -J

I managed to detect a virus on my PC recently called 'script/exploit'. It came from viewing a webpage, which showed an error message something like 'this page contains a script error...do you wish to proceed?' I said yes, and contracted the virus. I deleted the virus using AVG. Since then, I cannot open IE5.5 - it just says dnserror.htm at the bottom of the page. Any ideas?

Hi, I got the exact same 'script/exploit' virus and deleted with AVG. My mouse still freezes when in the PS/2 port but not the serial port however. I would love to know exactly what this virus was and how I can fix my mouse problem. Cheers.

Bexx - That sounds quite a bit like my problem. The way I get around this virus, is I hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to access the close program dialog box, then closing the program listed as script. I do this a couple times before it manages to close the program. Does anybody else have any more info on this virus? Maybe on how to get rid of it? -J

I also had a problem with something called script.exe I foolishly deleted script.exe and script.doc in my c:\windows dir and it stopped script from running at startup but instead I am getting a nasty error about my comp complaining it can't start script.exe cause files are missing anyone know how I can disable everything about script.exe for good I tried and its not in the startup tab of msconfig so I dont know what to do
