Under windows 95 its unlikely anyone has vbs associated with anything
.
We experimented today and all my systems are now again setup to go to
Ultraedit when VBS or VBE is clicked.
In addition if one gets infected and hasnt rebooted yet, push power to
switch off, reboot and under 98 recover previous registry.
After which one only has to delete the 3 files.
if a reboot has taken place and thus many files have been infected,
very likely all those infected files with extension vbs have to be
deleted.
Best regards,
tracer
