Hi There,

Lovely forum here :-) You guys may be able to help me. Have encountered a few problems recently - the main one is that when I am surfing the net I keep getting Internet Explorer Script Errors.

It tells me an error has occured on sites that I am not even looking at!

These pop up at throughout the day and are driving me potty!

Have run Norton, Adaware, Spybot S + D and now Hijackthis.

Is there anything happening here which shouldn't be?

For your 'script error' try this: With IE open, click on Tools, click on Internet Options, and then click on the Advanced tab. You should see a heading that says Browsing, and under that, one that says Disable script debugging. If there is not a checkmark at this, put one there.

For your HJT, close all windows, scan with hjt, and have it fix the following entries:
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {029CA12C-89C1-46a7-A3C7-82F2F98635CB} - (no file)

O18 - Protocol: shell - {3050F406-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B} - %SystemRoot%\system32\mshtml.dll (file missing)

This will just clean up your log a bit. Post another log as I'm sure there are more things that should be addressed by one of the pro's. When you post the new log, include whether or not you still get the script error.

Hi, since you hadn't posted in awhile I thought you got the problems fixed. I can only think of one other thing for you to try right now, hopefully someone will check your HJT and see if there's something there.

Get sysclean from here:
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp
For the Trend Micro Sysclean Package to be effective, you must download and place the latest pattern file in the same folder as the Trend Micro Sysclean Package. This file can be found in the Update Center on the left side, at the bottom of the list. Allow it to clean up any bad files it finds; it may take awhile.

After that, make sure all browser windows are closed, scan with HJT, and post a new log.

This is how I have my ActiveX settings; use this as a guide to set your own to see if it helps any:

To get access to the ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer, Open IE, click on Tools, click on Internet Options, click on the Security tab, click on the Custom Level button (near the bottom). Scroll down a bit to ActiveX controls and plug-ins; here you will have several options. Keep in mind that if you Enable all the options, you are leaving your system open to unwanted intrusions.

Here is how I have my settings:
Download signed ActiveX controls -- Prompt
Download unsigned ActiveX controls -- Disable
Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe -- Disable
Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins -- Enable
Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting -- Enable

The more of these you have Disabled, the safer you system is, but there will be sites that you can't access. Prompting is the next best thing, but constantly clicking OK can be tedious and usually you don't know whether it should be allowed or not. The described combination works best for me, but not be best for you -- it is just shown as a reference.

Anyone have any advice on the HJT log? (Or other suggestions for the script and activex errors)

I don't see anything bad in your log and since no one else has responded I'm guessing they don't either. This may not be malware related, perhaps if you post a thread in the Windows XP forum someone there will have some ideas. You might want to include a link to this thread as well. Sorry.

The popup you're getting makes it apparent you have adware on your system, but I can't help you get rid of it. This is not a solution, but it should at least prevent the popups: try a browser other then Internet Explorer, like Firefox or Opera. Note: you will still need to keep IE in order to get Windows Updates and to access certain other sites.

For your other problems, a refresh install of Windows may resolve them.

Hey There, thanks for the reply.

Still getting the script errors :(

I did try ticking and un ticking script debugging but it did not seam to fix it as the Error box popped up again a few moments ago.

Thanks dlh6213, I will give this a go. Whatever I have got is pretty darn annoying and a pain to remove :sad:

lakitu 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 4 · 2004-10-21T06:04:48+00:00

I tried the above and still no joy :-( I keep getting errors when I try to open any files or folders on my drives and when I try to open Norton:

Microsoft Internet Explorer

Your current security settings prohibit running Active X controls on this page,
As a resullt, the page may not display correctly.

I am stumped!

I took another HJT sample:

Thanks DLH, My Interenet Explorer Active X security settings matched yours above.

I seam to be have 3 problems.

1. MS IS Active X script errors when browsing local files and folders.

2. Internet Explorer script errors - something seams to be trying to access other sites I am not looking at.

3. Casino pop up that keeps appearing.

I have scanned with a number of tools in safe mode and normal, connected and disconnected to the web.

yours frustratingly!!

Ms Lakitu

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ExplorerTask] F:\WINNT\ServicePackFiles\i386\explorer.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sysinfo] F:\WINNT\sysinfo.exe

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

F:\WINNT\ServicePackFiles\i386\explorer.exe-file Not the legitimate file in C:\WINNT\Driver Cache\i386
F:\WINNT\sysinfo.exe-file

Reboot normally after doing the above, rescan with hijackthis making certain that all instances of Internet Explorer are closed, then post that log here please.

Thanks Crunchie and DLH, I will give the above a go.

As a short term fix I managed to stop some of the pop ups by adding offending sites my hosts file.

I also managed to stop the active x script errors by changing the security settings on my local intranet.

Its not clean yet but definitely some progress :-)

Thanks crunchie - seams to be running ok now :)

I am still having problems with Active x Script errors on one of my drives :( - Thought i had sorted this but must have been mistaken.

lakitu 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 11 · 2004-10-25T23:32:46+00:00

The active x script errors occur when I am browsing my c: drive which is all storage, or when I try and open Norton from my icon tray which is located on my system drive (f:).

hmmm this is driving me nuts

lakitu 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 12 · 2004-10-26T06:55:21+00:00

ok I have narrowed down the problem, I think.

The ActiveX script errors seem to be occurring when i try and open any MP3 files through Windows Explorer. Interestingly not .ogg files. MP3 seem to be the only files that initiate this error :(

At a guess I think or hope there is some way of editing the activex controls from the registry?

The Error message recieved is:

Your current security settings prohibit ActiveX controls on this page.
As a results the page may not display correctly.

I did dl and install updated Activex from MS - which is when the problem started!
