Hears A Good Question 4 All*

Zone, what is ICS?

And.. if you use like NAV, it'll stop and ask you when you try to launch a possibly harmful vbs

I totally agree on the "common sense" thingy*

Oh (I keep editing these messages to death) if you're uncertain about an exe or such, a good app is TextScan by AnalogX (www.analogx.com). It'll let you peek into the file for suspicious content.

ICS = internet connection sharing.

As to alerting me when launching a harmful VBS file, I have had no reason to run VBS files at all. And if I did, I would open it in notepad first and see what it does. Its certainly useful to be alerted, but the problem is the overhead and system slowdown caused by the computer needing to look at every bit of data read from the hard disk.

Was I wrong?&nbsp;

I use VBS alot, as it is the same language as ASP I feel very comfortable with it. Like running a task at regular intervals, I just script what I need to be done and add the VBS to the scheduler. Or problem solving things, like a friend wanted a script that accepts an IP range and outputs the low- and highbound IP addy. So I wrote this:

inIP = "172.16.0-10.0-255" 'Just an example, edit or use a msgbox
IP = Split(inIP, ".")

a = Split(IP(0), "-")
b = Split(IP(1), "-")
c = Split(IP(2), "-")
d = Split(IP(3), "-")

loIP = a(LBound(a)) & "." & _
b(LBound( b )) & "." & _
c(LBound( c )) & "." & _
d(LBound( d ))

hiIP = a(UBound(a)) & "." & _
b(UBound( b )) & "." & _
c(UBound( c )) & "." & _
d(UBound( d ))

MsgBox "Input:" & vbCrLf & _
inIP & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Output:" & vbCrlF & _
loIP & " - " & hiIP


Oooops, The smileys killed that message. Fixed it.

Yeah it does, especially with the Spoof Plugin it is one of the best browsers around!
