blank page loads/activeX issue

I am trying to fix a friend's computer. Removed several viruses, back door
trojans, etc. I am trying to delete previous restore points. When I go to
open the restore function, the program just shows a blank page.
Also, when I go to the microsoft update web page, I get a blank page.
After doing some research, I believe the problem is related to ActiveX. I
found that I need a file called scripten.exe. I can download the file, but
when I try to install it, windows gives me a message that says the file is
not signed as a WInXP fill and will not install. I even tried running the
file from a cd that I burned on another computer.
WinXP SP2 installed
Thanks

Hi Robin :-)

Could you please explain why you are trying to delete the System Restore
points? Before trying to delete the restore points, you might first take a
look at the information here: (MS MVP Noel Paton) and read about the System
Restore. http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/quiktipsr.htm


Also..try the following and see if it helps with the missing file:

Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 2000 and XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...43-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en
or

Removal of some spyware and malware can damage or remove some files, thus,
you may need to do a repair in order to restore any damaged or missing
files.
