Script Sentry

block potentially malicious scripts

Our Rating: (Good)

ScriptSentry acts as an intermediate between your computer and the Windows Scripting Host, thereby allowing you to control which scripts are executed or not. Among other uses, this can be useful to prevent malicious scripts that are often distributed as disguised email attachments (e.g the infamous Iloveyou "virus", Melissa and many others). The program can be configured in detail and offers advanced options for users that know what they are doing as well as easy to select options for novice users. The program supports a large list of script types, including VBS, JS, HTA and many others. You can also choose to associate .DOC and XLS documents with ScriptSentry, thereby controlling the risk of malicious scripts embedded in these files.
