Nonsense!
It’s almost certainly a bug in your new Scripts Shield.
Proof: I custom reinstalled v6 without the Scripts Shield and the problem with an Outlook Express opening script error disappeared. This also greatly speeded up the avast! Updates of engine/virus definitions/program, which the Scripts Shield is probably also interfering with.
