If you must open attachments from MS Outlook,
then save the 8 lines at the end of this message to a file with a .REG
extension, then double click on the file you just created from My
Computer/Windows Explorer. This modifies your registry so that you no
longer execute VB script attachments, just view them harmlessly in a
text
editor. Voila, no more email script viruses.
