Can one of you expand on the Bleeping Computer article on what to include, to stop Windows Scripting Host from executing?

I added a DWORD key “Enabled” but that just doesn't look right.

Plus I am on Win 10 64-bit. Do I need to add a QWORD entry?

I am using Win10 64bit also. The article is a little unclear, but you want to create a registry value called Enabled in the Settings key, not a new key. In other words the value (a Dword, as the article states) will appear in the right hand pane of regedit when the Settings key is selected in the left pane. It defaults to a value of zero, so nothing to do there.

Search your system for .js files, or create a dummy using notepad (making sure it doesn't have .txt appended to the .js extension). I found a ton of .js files related to a game I have installed. Double-click the file and you should see the exact error shown in the article. I'm assuming you have restarted the computer since creating this DWORD value.
