Good advice as usual, I particularly liked the comment about the ID10T....................hey what sane person is going to open a e-mail with the subject:

As the saying goes "some of them won't never learn"

It amazes me that these .vbs and other straightforward scripting viruses are still so prevalent. OK it doesn't help that M$ ships its OSes with the default to hide known file extensions (hint: reset to display all extensions, AND hidden files), but people do seem to be their own worst enemies?

I am still in favour of complementary software such as Scrip Trap, and AnaloX's Script Defender......At least thay give you a final warning that you are going to run a script...

I remember about 4 years ago writing a little 4 line .reg file that made VB scripts open in Notepad.............not so long after the "loveletter" virus hit the scene............I was amazed at the number of ID10Ts that rang up and asked what the "funny e-mail" they had just opened was all about [Please don't mess with the Registry unless you are sure of what you are doing............and make a backup]

We have mentioned the claims of modern AVs to intercept hostile scripts, but I still haven't seen hard evidence of their effectiveness.............if they are that good, how come this stuff is still a threat?................they should be as obsolete as floppy disk borne stuff?

Be Safe...Stay Safe
