I have XP home edition. I was attempting to check my
settings in System Restore, but when I clicked on the
link to settings, I received a security warning from
MacAfee of "Suspicious Script" as follows: "The script
is attempting to call the Run method within the
IWshshell3 object." The file name given is rstrui.exe.
What does this mean, is it dangerous, if so, what do I
do, etc. Thanks for any info. PS I stopped the
scripting when this popped up.

This is the exe that runs the restore function.
It isn't a virus. Looks like McAfee is just giving
you a warning that something is attempting to run.
If you want to restore you will have let this exe run.
