[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 789102, member: 32260"] The most common are via mshta.exe (can run .hta files by default) and hh.exe (can run .chm files). Both mshta.exe and hh.exe can run JavaScript code. Like wscript.exe, the interpreter mshta.exe can run the script embedded in almost any file, even in the plain .txt file. The scripts embedded in the compiled .chm files are very dangerous and usually very effective as a spam attachments. The JScript and VBScript scripts can be also run via WMI without using the standard Windows Script Host interpreters, but abusing scrcons.exe . Yet, this method is usually a way of hiding script execution to obtain malware persistence, because the system has to be already compromised. [/QUOTE]
