Question

[Moved from Community Participation Center]

After logging in, 3 windows script host will pop up on my screen. I already tried the clean boot but when i returned back to normal start up, the error will appear again. please help.

Answer 1

No more error when Admin user logged in on the said computer, but if guest user or not admin rights will log in, the error will appear again. So i just reformatted the computer to clean all.

Team, thank you for the support. I really appreciated it.

Answer 2

 when i checked again in the msconfig, its in Selective Startup. If returned to Normal, the error still occurs. We already comsume more time on this,i think i better reformat this computer. what do you suggest?

A reformat will fix this, but I wouldn't do that just to resolve this minor issue.

You are judged to be in Selective Startup only because you've stopped these unwanted processes from running. There is nothing wrong with Selective Startup. I have an XP laptop that's been running in Selective Startup for 10 years.

If you're getting the Selective Startup message with each startup, click on the 'Don't show this again" option.

Possible solutions, other than msconfig, are to (1) start guessing and uninstall programs that you think *might* have created these processes or (2) run several malware removal programs in the hope that one of them will remove this unidentified program.
