Special Character's in a string Compare

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The below code compares a variable read from a registry string value. It
works fine except on the ElseIf Stastement. I believe it is because my
string I am using to compare with has parenthesis in it. I know that there
is an occurance of this string with parenthesis in it. So my question is,
how can I write the code to accept them literally or, is there a way to
reduce this to a single IF statement and use a wildcard?

If strVal = "server.test.com" Then
Wscript.Echo "Value Name: " & arrValueNames(x)&" = " & strVal
ElseIf strVal = "server.test.com(1)" Then
Wscript.Echo "Value Name: " & arrValueNames(x)&" = " & strVal
End If
