?? A 'malicious script' does not have to be a virus.
A script (macro, bat etc) that might: delete a registry key, rename a
file, copy a replacement from the \i386 folder and reregister a dll. All in
the name of repairing an obscure problem would be considered a MALICIOUS
SCRIPT by most AV engines.
In the case of Doug's scripts and .reg's I would not fear.
