(FIXED) Script Shield Won't Work

[snuggles]

Hi I'm new to this forum. My brother (randunyogo)got an issue fixed here and he told me to get help on this forum. Right now my script shield doesn't work (doesnt scan scripts online OR offline). he said that you guys told him that turning off protected mode in IE8 will make it work but for me it doesn't. Runing Vista 32-bit. No other security software installed, just Avast Internet security. (Except for MBAM) I tried repairing avast but still nothing. I've also been recommended noscript for mozilla but i find that too bothersome. Can somebdy help me fix this? Thanks!

One option you can use is to deinstall Avast! and reinstall it after reboot. Maybe the Script Shield works then.

Besides MBAM (free or Pro?), do you have any other security software (firewall, anything else)?

If you have already tried a repair, and you manually tried to turn the shield back on and that did not work, then I suggest an uninstall of Avast and CLEAN install[/b] to fix your problems.

Please follow these instructions:

1. Save a copy of newest version of Avast (5.0.594) for the version you need and save it to your HDD:
Free – http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_free.exe
Pro  –  http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_pro.exe
AIS  –  http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_ais.exe

2. Download the Avast Uninstall Utility, aswClear5.exe http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility and save it to your HDD.
3. Disconnect from the Internet at this time.
4. Uninstall Avast through "Add/Remove Programs". 
5. Boot into Safe Mode and run the Avast Uninstall Tool.
6. Reboot twice.
7. Clean your computer up (clean up cache, etc.).
8. Install the newest version of Avast and reboot twice.
9. Get Internet access and update Avast definitions.
10. Register your copy or add the license key for Free, Pro or AIS.
11. Reset your settings, if needed.

Please post your results.  Thank you.

I don't have anything besides MBAM andAIS. My firewall is the one in the Suite.

Anyways, the complete uninstall/clean install worked
SafeSurf, and DJBone, thank you so much!
