Hi AnnMarie,
Thanks for posting that link. My understanding of this latest threat is if you select "run this program from current location" you could be in trouble. This stuff never ends!
I also read your post re webpage viruses. You mentioned that you installed HTA Stop. I went to the link and it sounds very good. I presently have no-script.exe from NAV which turns off WSH. So I'm thinking they both do the same thing. Am I correct about this, or do I need HTA Stop to specifically stop the WSH in my browser.
Thanks very much.
Sincerely, Nancee

Hi Nancee - No you dont need HTA Stop - NAV is doing the job for you by turning off WSH. HTA exploits depend on the presence of the Windows Scripting Host. Cheers

PS You are very welcome
