Which also blocks the VBS scripts which I think you are concerned about. If you want to disable the VBS scripts completely just remove Windows Scripting Host, if yo can, and they will be harmless. If you can remove it, just rename wscript.exe and cscript.exe to a non EXE extention.	Guest (0)

But nothing can provide you with 100% guarantee from being infected by a virus. That is when you need PrivateBase. PrivateBase is the only software that isolates and encrypts your email addresses - thus achieving 2 objectives: (a) saving you from the embarrassment of infecting others (all your friends, customers, colleagues); and (b) preventing the virus from spreading.
