Trouble with Script Host?

[Burton Roberts]

I'm using XP Professional on a Dell Inspiron 8100 with 512K Ram.
Since April 1 I have been struggling with problems associated with the
Script Host . I suspect I let in a virus that Norton AntiVirus is not
picking up.

Here's a sample of an error I get when I open my Visual Studio.Net IDE to
the
default Start Screen.

Internet Explorer Script Error
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Syntax
Code: 0
url: vs:/default.htm

Something is corrupting the program that reads the script
associated with html screen. I'm getting a similar error when I open Norton
Antivirus, which is preventing me from activating their product.

Also, after rebooting, IE6 loses my designated homepage url and replaces it
with a nonsense url.

Also, a program I am developing uses the script host, and it seems not to
fire up after rebooting. When I reinstall Script Host 5.6 (scripten.exe), my
program works again and script host gets activated when called. But next
time I reboot script host doesn't work again, and I have reinstall again.

When I run a virus scan I get zero files infected

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
