    Internet Explorer script error messages but no Internet Explorer!

    Hi All,

    Sorry but I've searched all over for an (easy?) answer to this problem to no avail.

    I'm not a computer expert by any means so please forgive any naivety in my approach.
    I just appear to know more than some.
    Who said to know a little is dangerous?! lol

    My colleague's daughter's laptop had been infected with Windows Restore.
    No wonder considering all the rubbish on it and lapsed Norton IS 6!
    However I got rid of what I considered K.r.@.p. and have downloaded and run Superantispyware, Malwarebytes, CCleaner and Avast AV, and it is so much better.
    She had Firefox 3 and IE 6 so I updated both. IE became 8.
    I then kept getting IE script error messages so I DL and run Spybot Search & destroy.
    This found even more rogues!
    But still the IE script error messages giving references to web sites I knew nothing about.
    I then uninstalled IE and deleted the folder from programmes folder.
    But still IE script error messages.
    I have tried not to reformat as she has lots (lots!) of pics and vids and I don't want to transfer any rogueware to a copy dvd in turn reinfecting in reloading, hopefully you know what I mean.
    Also now has Zone Alarm firewall which appears to have helped slightly but not completely.
    Anyway, any suggestions on what I might have missed to keep getting these messages?
    Apologies for the long post.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    All the best.

    Save 20% on AVG Internet Security 2012 Suite!
    IE is a part of Windows and it can't be uninstalled.
    Trying to remove it will cause even more problems.
    Most likely, the computer is still infected.

    I suggest, you start new topic in our malware removal forum.
