So,e security program probably changed your Open file association for .vbs to notepad or made edit (which would open in notepad) the default action for vbs files. Either put the original file association back or bypass that like this:
Go to start >run and type:
wscript.exe C:\silentrunners.vbs (Or whatever the path to the script actually is)

Press enter.

You're welcome. Were you able to get what you needed from the silent runners results?
