Question

Windows script host error for .js file keeps popping up.

Anonymous

Hello all,

I keep getting this message. I've gotten this message since I got my desktop over the summer. I've tried Malwarebytes and my own antivirus to make sure that there's no malware on my computer that this error message could be related to. I've also tried uninstalling/reinstalling any applications I could think of that might be responsible for this error message. This is getting really annoying and my only 'fix' that I've found has been to save a text file with the same name as that file. That only works for so long, though. I imagine I probably have to fix it in the registry? I don't know. If anyone has any advice on how to remove this error message, it would be appreciated. Thank you!

When the file downloads, unzip it.

Run Autoruns64 as Administrator

In the filter box at the top of Autoruns, type this; js

Please provide a screenshot of that Autoruns window.
