    VBScript

    I'm not stupid enough to run .vbs files, but what about VBScript embedded into HTML pages? How do I stop those?

    This is on a Windows NT/2k computer.

    I tried turning off Active Scripting in the Security options but that disabled javascript also.

    Possibly you are mixing up opening .vbs files and running embedded VBScript.

    Basically you don't want to run attachments with an .exe or .vbs extension, that it is your own responsibility. Further more you do want JavaScript and VBScript to run, and to get warnings when these script try to access, for instance, your filesystem. Such attempts are regulated by your browser settings.

    So check out the browser settings. JavaScript and VBScript make no difference - you only should forbid those script to open things you would not want them to.

    acutally .vbs is MSScript while the thing on webpages is VBScript.

    quite different in security. and many functions are missinf in VBScript like FSO.
