Script engine for VBScript

Aug 12, 2010 3:41AM PDT

Hi guys, I have a 1-month old Acer desktop computer running Windows 7 Premium 64-bit system. It works wonderfully well. However, since yesterday whenever I login I get the following message:

Can't find script engine "VBScript"for script "C:\Windows\System32\OEM\_NowIntoDT.vbs".

The message does not seem to affect login or the use of the computer so far. I do not know if there are problems lurking somewhere. I normally click X to close the message or click the OK.

I must add that a day ago I removed McAfee Internet Security 60-day Trial which I did not activate. Instead, I chose Avast Free Antivirus.I have been using Avast since I got the computer.

Can anyone tell me what this message means and how can I fix the problem?

Thanks for your help.

I've just done the same as you and deleted McAfee and now I get a similar message at start up. How did you fix the problem ?
