Great.. and what happens if you apps need VBS?? it doesn't run anymore..

It seems to me this is not the best solution. Rather educate users.

Everyone has been scrambling east and west, north and south trying to
find the answer to these VBS viruses, the answer is not eMail
filtering, it's not better firewalls, or failing members of the FBI
community.

It is a file called WScript.Exe

A batch (.BAT) file with these two lines will deal with this problem:

ren %SystemRoot%\system32\wscript.exe wscript.sav
ren c:\windows\wscript.exe wscript.sav

If you get rid of this engine, then all Visual Basic Scripts cannot be
run.

More information can be found about this file on the Microsoft
Knowledge Base.

I haven't seen this on BugTraq or Vuln-Dev yet, hope it helps you out!
