Internet has become a useful and powerful tool which is liked by most people all over the world. But there are some reparative software along with Internet when we enjoy the advantage and benefit of it, such as known Data-mining, aggressive advertising, Parasites, Scumware, selected traditional Trojans, Dialers, Malware, Browser hijackers, and tracking components etc. These malicious scripts usually hide themselves in your system quietly but they can make unpredictable loss for you. For example, they can filch your user name and password of credit card, email, bank account and so on; Copy, delete or modify your important files and data; Peek your privacy or sensitive information etc. This makes us feel very unsafe when we are surfing the web. But how should we do Don't worry about it! Here I introduce you a very easy-to-use yet powerful utility that can block potentially malicious scripts. That is Script Sentry which was published by Jasons Toolbox. Did you hear about it Here I will introduce it to you.
Script Sentry acts as an intermediate between our computer and the Windows Scripting Host, thereby allowing us to control which scripts are executed or not. Windows Scripting Host (WSH) is a double-edged sword. On one hand it can be used to make some very useful scripts to automate common Windows functions. On the other hand, it can be very easy for a malicious user to make a virus using WSH. Script Sentry allows safe scripts to run on our system while alerting us if a script might harm our system. In addition, Script Sentry prevents against malicious scripts hidden in ShellScrap (hidden SHS and SHB extensions) files, Word/Excel macro viruses, malicious HTA files, and accidentally run REG files. Among other uses, this can be useful to prevent malicious scripts that are often distributed as disguised email attachments. 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. We can also choose to associate .DOC and XLS documents with ScriptSentry, thereby controlling the risk of malicious scripts embedded in these files. We can specify which scripts/files should be allowed to run and Script Sentry will invisibly allow those to run. Script Sentry is a "set it and forget it" application so it takes up exactly 0MB of memory unless it's needed. NOTE: Script Sentry is not a replacement for a good anti-virus program, but a supplement to it. An anti-virus program might stop a script virus once we update it's virus definition files, but before we do that the virus has a window of opportunity. Script Sentry simply helps close that window. The latest version of Script Sentry is 2.7.1 and the new features and functions of it include: Added better error handling and integration with the Error Reporter. DOC/XLS ddeexec settings will be preserved and migrated properly (fixing a bug which caused either error messages when a DOC/XLS file is run or no SS protection at all). Dialog boxes can now be resized. Uninstalling Script Sentry now won't require a reboot. Added a Delete Safe Files entry confirmation box. Added the ability to have Script Sentry launch DOC/XLS files if no warnings are found. (Separate feature from the existing "Automatically Run Files if no Warnings are Found."). Added HTA, REG, SHB, and DOC/XLS Macro support and so on. In addition, Script Sentry is free for us and it does not contain any adware or spyware, so we can use it safely and undisturbed. It is standalone software and does not need any extra software and hardware requirement. It works with most recent variants of Windows and its current version is 2.7.1.
In a word, Script Sentry has a friendly and easy-to-use interface, so we can block potentially malicious scripts by simply few clicks.
