Thanks for your respons. I have Norton AntiVirus Pro2004.
We tried contacting Symantec, but the email messages we
recieve back appear to be coming from India and we really
cannot understand their answers. We just wanted to know
just what 'script' is - and what a malicious script might
be - and it might be a simple answer, but Symantec's
responses have left us more confused. Thanks anyway for
your answer.
