Windows Forum / Windows XP / Security and Administration / April 2004suspicious script message
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. Many viruses, worms, hijacks, etc infiltrate your system via scripts. When you did what you did McAfee saw that a script was being run to accomplish the task and told you so so that you could stop it or say it was ok. The file RSTRUI.EXE is the System Restore Application so I'm assuming that it was called into existance by an internal script when you opted to check the settings. Hope this helps. > I have XP home edition. I was attempting to check my > settings in System Restore, but when I clicked on the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > do, etc. Thanks for any info.
