voets is about, but i’ll try and give my suggestion anyway 😛  
perhaps setup is set to run this file on startup? have you tried searching for it in the registry? (search for C:\Documents…LST)

Looks like an auto-startup program to me.

Go to the Start Menu and check out what stuff there is in the Startup folder. If it’s in there, take it out of there and reboot.

If that doesn’t work, hit WINDOWS+R, type in msconfig, and open the last tab. You’ll see a list of programs that are started when windows is started there. If that VBS file is in that list, uncheck the checkbox next to it, click OK and reboot. See if it’s still there the next boot.

yeah looks like something is trying to fire up your Internet Explorer…now this word is thrown around a lot nowadays, but usually spyware would cause that message, and if it used to flash very quickly and was gone… even more evidence.

a search script should not be launched on startup

VBS files are nothing but trouble, especially if it’s trying to access an object with internet explorer. I’d delete the file even if you took it off your startup.

Yeah, I thought it to be pretty suspicious too. ActiveX, Internet Explorer, Search and Startup aren’t exactly the most positive combination. Sounds like spyware trying to generate popups or to hijack your startpage, but failing at it.
