Norton Anti Virus

Post by BlackWisdom » Wed Oct 22, 2003 8:19 pm

Hey Guys,

Is there a macro script to make shorcuts that appear on the desktop and / or the programs menu. VBScript uses the "Special Folders" command. But I had to convert all of my VBScripts to scheduler scripts and compile them because Norton Anti Virus (NAV) has script blocking and currently when the user attempts to install my program even if its compiled with scheduler to an exe - Norton blocks it and puts up the "Malicious Script" warning.. any ideas..???

Is it possible to camouflage the .vbs against NAV with another file extension (assigned to WHS)?

Lumumba & Bob,

I don't think the file extension has anything to do with NAV's scripting blocking mechanism.

BlackWisdom,

Can you disable the script blocking feature?

Happy scripting.
