Hi all,
New to the forum. Had the same problem today with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.4 sending the escript.api file to the virus chest and rendering Acrobat useless. Wouldn't open or anything. So I went to the virus chest and right clicked the escript file and clicked Restore. Acrobat is working fine now. Don't know if this will help anyone but thought I would share as it seems to have resolved my Acrobat malfunction issue without having to re-install the program.
