>This weeks release is geared toward dealing with a problem which is
>becoming more and more prevalent these days, email viruses.  AnalogX
>Script Defender can be configured to intercept any calls to the system
>to execute scripts - this means if you click on that .vbs file in your
>email program everything isn't lost; SDefender will pop up and verify
>that you really did want to execute the script!  Overall an excellent
>way to ensure you don't inadvertently run something you ordinarily
>wouldn't.  By default it's configured to catch Visual Basic scripts,
>Windows Scripts and several other of the more common ones, but you can
>also add your own script extensions to intercept as well.  For more

>I had originally planned to implement this in a mail passthru but the
>guys over at http://www.WebAttack.com/ gave me this idea which I think
>is even better - they even gave it their Gold Editors Pick award!  :)
