The script scanner operates as a proxy component to the real Windows
scripting host component. It intercepts scripts, then scans them before they
are executed.
For example, the script scanner confirms:
- If the script is clean, it
is passed on to the real scripting host component.
- If the script contains a
potential threat, the script is not executed.
Trusted processes and also websites that utilize scripts can be
excluded from inspection.
Note: On Windows Server 2008 systems, Script Scan URL exclusions do not
work with Windows Internet Explorer unless you click the checkbox
Enable third-party browser extensions to
enable the setting and restart Windows Server 2008. For details, see
