I ran VRDB early Sat. morning. (2am) The next day my browser MSIE 6.0 would no longer process javascript, aspx, active-x (Flash) or any other scripting. Java works fine.
very long shot and missed by a mile, no the VRDB couldn’t have any impact on IE Scripting as it is passive, until called by avast after a detection if you select Repair (assuming the option is active). Even when generating the VRDB database it has no security functionality so shouldn’t interfere with IE scripting.
I would say that you are fighting a lost cause as you should at least update IE6 to at least IE7, I have not considered IE8 as there are still a number of issues with that. IE9 is already in the pipeline after only months of IE8.
