Other virus defenses...

You may want to uninstall or disable the Windows Scripting Host:

And/or install ScripTrap:

thanks I think
Does it work ?

Now Nirvman, do you think I would post it if it didn't work? :) By "it" I assume you mean ScripTrap. I asked Robin Keir "How can I tell if ScripTrap is working?" Like, I didn't want to try it out with a live virus. He sent me a harmless VBS test file that when run will trigger ScripTrap. I can send the VBS test file to you or anyone else. You can grit your teeth when you doubleclick it wondering if it really is harmless. :) However, if you have Windows Scripting Host disabled, ScripTrap won't trip because VBS can't run.

BTW, if you want to see your anti-virus prog go nuts, hopefully, here's a link where you can obtain an anti-virus test file:
