[QUOTE="tim one, post: 725327, member: 25920"] As we have already had the opportunity to see, tons of malware are using scripting techniques. The same techniques usually used to take advantage of the ability of Windows to automatically run the script. A script is a sequence of instructions that usually are used to automate a series of operations at operating system level. For those who know MS-DOS, the use of the script brings in a Windows environment, what in DOS you could do by using batch file (.BAT) by introducing a series of innovations, closely linked to the components of the operating system itself. Windows Scripting Host is a sort of "interpreter" of the scripts that Microsoft has integrated within the system starting from Windows 98. Windows Scripting Host (WSH) allows you to boot directly from the Windows file VBS (Visual Basic Script) and JS (J-Script) by performing two important functions: first, WSH interprets the instructions contained in the script and allows you to handle any programming errors; in the second place, it offers the possibility, without having to install a real programming language, to interact with all the elements of Windows. Simple instructions allow, for example, engage with applications such as Word, Excel, Access, intervene on the registry, connecting to printers, creating network connections, and so on: all the operations, usually done manually, can be automated. It is clear, then, what is the power of the script and how, inevitably, these could be used by malware. IMO SMB Deny is a simple app that in its simplicity has its power to prevent a good part of the malware scripts just by using Windows settings. [/QUOTE]
