Browse All TopicsTheNautican supplied me with the vbs script for running a virus scan on shutdown which work great on XP machines. I have a couple of windows 7 systems that when shutting down the Internet Explorer application does not show but the scan does appear to run. The screen just shows "Shutting down' then when the scan appears to finish it does shutdown.
Any ideas on why the IE window does not show on Windows 7???

Ya, No joy. Thanks for the work. I really appreciate it. From what I can see Windows 7 has some sort of security built in to not launch the IE windows. It works fine when launching it from the desktop but not on shutdown.
This the real code that i am using. I removed the meg box because users tend to hit shutdown and walk away. SO I just want it to scan and they have the ability to cancel if they like by closing the window.
It runs fine if I launch it from windows. But If I put the script in GPO shutdown and I perform a shutdown all I get is the shutdown screen 'Shutting down...'. Thats it. No IE window with the message. It performs the scan cause I can see the HDD spinning like crazy. The screenshot is me running the script manually.
