Folks,

As a followup to this latest, nasty problem with the ILOVEYOU virus I am reminded that late last year someone here on the UT made an offhand remark along the lines of, "Just wait until someone figures out how to use WSH to create a virus."

Well, it didn't take long did it.

For those of you who are far more proficient at WSH than am I what would be the best advice available with respect to protecting one's self against this obviously open door?

I ask this because I'm sitting here more than flummoxed at the notion that someone actually posted the source code to this beast. I fully expect many more variations in the near future since most of the heavy lifting has already been done. Kind of like posting a bomb formula. <g> I question the intelligence of those who did this though I fully understand why they might have done this.

Perhaps, if we respond quickly we can avoid these troubles, at least among our community.

Best,

DD
