Hello, I work as a consultant and a client of mine had some spyware on his pc
and several viruses that norton did not catch. I used microsoft spyware tool
and used an online av program that found serveral trojans. After cleaning
the machine javascript code will not execute. Example there is a link the
link opens a popup window when you click on it. Well it doesn't work. I
know it not the site we have tested it on other pcs and no issue. I found a
post that mentioned a virus which is why I did the online scan which found
about 15 of them. I tried to reinstall ie 6 the installer won't run says the
version is older than the one installed, I also reinstalled WSH to attempt to
resolve this issue and still no luck. I am hoping that ms may have some
suggestions on how to get javascript back working.
 
Hi,
Some possibilities:

Any pop-up blockers running? Google Toolbar, Yahoo Companion, the IE pop-up
blocker (XP SP2?)

Check any third-party security programs to see if one of them is blocking
javascript, scripts, scripting, active content.

Go to Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone, set it to Default.

Clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete
files (and delete offline content when that dialog pops up) It's often
recommended that the TIF folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)

Try these two commands from Start> Run> cmd [enter]
regsvr32 vbscript.dll [enter]
regsvr32 jscript.dll [enter]

Reinstall the JavaScript engine. Go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp
for the appropriate download.

Hope this helps,
