Pop Up: Windows Based Script Host

Question

At random invervals a Windows pop up window displays this message (in my language Swedish):

How do you want to open this type of file (.js)

Microsoft Windows Based Script Host

(and also displays alternative applications (Notepad among them).

If I click the application name above, the pop up window disappears and nothing else happens.

If I click beside the pop up window the nothing else happens.

If I don't click at all the pop up window stays on the screen.

I can't detect other events.

Can I get rid of this pop up in any way? What is wrong?

Answer 1

This is the exact issue that I have! However I couldn't find any files under that name or "dregol" this pop up is very frustrating due to it tabbing me out of programs and games.

Answer 2

Does this window pop up in regular intervals? In my case it did every hour. If this is the case, I would start with looking into task scheduler and try to identify suspiciously looking tasks.

Answer 3

Nor did I.
