Do we actually need so many security programs?

[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 775248, member: 32260"] [B]This proggie has to be run with admin rights to work.[/B] If not, then you will see the message that scripts are disabled, but in fact they are not. It was probably not intended to be run as a standalone tool. This tool can simply rename the file associations for the script files. For example, disabling the *.vbs scripts is done as follows: The Windows default key name: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSFile The key renamed by Symantec: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSFile[COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B].SymantecDisabled[/B][/COLOR] [B]Yet, this cannot prevent script execution via the below command: C:\Windows\system32\wscript.exe /e:vbscript [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]path_to_script[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
