Viruses can be written in any language. If someone writes an attachment in
Perl and emails it to your Linux box and you run it (as root) and it erases
your hard drive, would you write posts in a newsgroup suggesting that Perl
is inferior because it can be used for virus writing?
The fact is that Windows Scripting Host runs both VBScript *AND* JavaScript
scripts so if you want to blame something, blame the user who clicked on the
attachment, blame Windows Scripting Host for not giving enough warnings
about the runnable script but don't blame the language.
I assume you also don't code in C/C++ because viruses have been made in
those languages?
