Scott,
It's not a power outage that caused your problem. Your network is virus infected. These types of viruses attack SCT files because that's also the extension for Scripting Host files.
You need a to restore from a good backup more than you need a UPS.
>Well I just had a GREAT experience. Anyone else ever have their SC? files corrupted when the power flickers, and your machine reboots? Power barfed this morning, and I had 8 hours worth of work replaced with HTML code from jokeaday.com. Can you guess who's going to be getting a UPS?
