I had a virus alert and quarantined a dubious installation.
Now I get a script host error. "can not find script file “c:\program files… up592.js”
Help I can’t remove it!

Get, install and run CCleaner
Let it check the registry and fix the found problem(s).
Repeat the registry check untill nothing is found anymore.
Thanks - I haven’t used ccleaner for so long. What an improvement! I’ll let you know if it works
No joy. Same error.
“Cannot find script file…” I’ve checked the start up config and nothing suspicious. No errors from cclean. Looked through all installed programs but nothing I don’t know.
This error occurred after I was installing a program (untrusted) - Installer for SummerSoft. I was trying to get subtitles for a movie. Bad choice.
No threat in the installer but then it tried to inject malicious software.
Avast did a great job stopping that, but now I suffer this error ever boot.
start > run > regedit > search for up592.js > delete all entries it find
Thanks but that was the first thing I tried and I couldn’t find any reference to it. Something else must be calling it I assume
attach (not copy and paste) OTL diagnostic log, then Essexboy will take a look when he arrive later today
@aobrien: Please reread Pondus’ instructions…!!!
Thanks for the flame.
Why do you think I removed my c/p…
I’m trying to work out how to attach.
Righto got it
now make coffee and wait.
Let me know if this clears it

Ok wow. You are fantastic. Time for me to have a look at OTL more deeply to try to work out what this did - but it has worked! ;D
All I did was remove the run key for that file
If you are happy run OTL and press cleanup to remove it and its associated folders
