Thanks for the help. "Have you checked the shortcut that you use to start IE? Is it really pointing to IE? What happens when you double-click on iexplore.exe from within the Windows file explorer? " It was the shortcut. It pointed to Hitman Pro for some kind of protection called "surfright" when unchecking this function, the problem is away!! B.t.w. Hitman Pro is a software that combines several different anti-spyware and antivirus software too completely clean your system... \

Thanks for the response. I tried what you discribed, but the problem is still there. all system restore files that contained malware are removed by Hitman. Do you have another suggestion for solving this problem without having to reinstall explorer 7 and all depending programs..? f.i. where is the command comming from to open a script file?? thanks

Hello, I get the error message popup: AutoIt error ; Unable to open the script file This happens when I start Internet Exolorer. I had a couple of virus-programs installed that opened a second browser with advertising. After a full system check with Hitman, a couple of virus, trojan-horses etc. where found and removed. Now no new browser windows opens, but the above descriped error message. I don't now anything about autoIt and can't find a solution for this problem on the web. Please can somebody help me with this problem?? Thanks, Tijn
