Disabling Windows Scripting Host

These instructions explain how to tell whether Windows Scripting Host (WSH) is installed on your machine and how to disable the running of VBS scripts. This prevents viruses such as the VBS LoveLetter from infecting your machine.

When Windows, Internet Explorer or some other products are installed or upgraded Windows Scripting Host may be reinstalled. You would then have to repeat the procedures described below.

Important note: Some applications require Windows Scripting Host. They will cease to function if it is disabled or removed.

*Windows 98

*Windows 95

*Windows NT 4.0

*Windows 2000 and Windows Me
