I mispoke. I meant to say JScript, Microsoft's version of JavaScript. The
difference is the environment in which the script is run. Under the Windows
Scripting Host, you do not get the benefits of Java security. VBScript and
JScript are essentially the same thing to the WSH.

Are you sure about that? I would think that a JavaScript program wouldn't
be able to either reproduce or do much damage. JavaScript has heavy
security built into it, unlike VBS which is essentially a free-for-all like
EXE files.

There has been some discussion of rules for filtering out .vbs files. Don't
forget that .js files are also associated with the Windows Scripting Host,
and they need to be filtered also. After all, the LoveBug .vbs code was
written in VBScript, and it would not be difficult to replicate the virus in
JavaScript.
