What Is Scriptproxy for McAfee?


Scriptproxy.dll
The scriptproxy.dll file is called into action when browsing the Internet and visiting a website that has ActiveX controls; it checks to make sure the website scripts do not contain dangerous viruses. McAfee uses the DLL file to scan incoming Java and Visual Basic scripts, too.
Errors
Microsoft notes that the DLL file associated with VirusScan Enterprise 8.0 can interfere with a program in some versions of Windows that also runs and processes Active X controls. This may cause scripts to fail and certain websites to become inoperative. Microsoft lists a workaround that deactivates scriptproxy.dll while leaving other McAfee services active.
McAfee's Advice
McAfee acknowledged the problem caused by the scriptproxy.dll file and corrected it in a patch. VirusScan Enterprise 8.0 is an old version of the program, and McAfee ended support for it in 2010. The DLL file, however, might appear as part of other McAfee security products.
