Symantec Noscript 1.0 (old news)

[dwarka]

VBS scripts can be the cause of major virus attacks and hacks that can edit your Hosts file and steal your passwords.

Here is a useful tool that can enable and disable VBS script support whenever you want. And you can trust the program too because Symantec made it

How to disable (or re-enable) the Windows Scripting Host:
The program, Noscript.exe, will disable the Windows Scripting Host; this will prevent viruses from executing automated scripts.
Note: Disabling the WSH will prevent all the scripts from running on the system.

1. Download Noscript.exe to a folder on the hard disk.
2. Double-click the Noscript.exe icon. The Norton Script Disabler/Enabler appears.
* If the WSH is currently enabled on the system, you will be prompted as to whether you want to disable it. To do so, click Disable, and then click OK.
* If the WSH is currently disabled on the system, you will be prompted as to whether you want to enable it. To do so, click Enable, and then click OK.

The following are optional command-line parameters to Noscript.exe:

* /silent
This suppresses the enable/disable dialog and automatically disable WSH. If WSH has already been disabled, Noscript will do nothing.
* /silent /on
This suppresses the enable/disable dialog and automatically enables WSH. If WSH has already been enabled, Noscript will do nothing. The "/on" parameter must be used in conjunction with the "/silent" switch; it cannot be used by itself.

NOTE: If the command-line parameters are used, Noscript will not toggle the enabled/disabled state of WSH.

How does Noscript disable/enable the WSH?
It renames the file association classes for any class that has either Wscript.exe or Cscript.exe in its Shell\Open\Command or Shell\Open2\Command registry keys.
