How to protect from visual basic virus ?

[Expertz]

Hello friends,

I know that many a times we click on the email which is being received by our friends, relatives etc.But we never know the email which is being sent to us is containing virus or not.Normally an Visual Basic virus is a program which is attached to an e-mail message and runs when the attachment is opened and you would never know your PC is being effected by a virus to avoid such kind of things to happened with you i have found a very good solution for you.It will take a very few minutes and you need to follow a few steps which are as below:-

1. First Open Internet Explorer.
2. Select View and click on Folder Options.
3. Now click on the File Types tab
4. Locate any VBScript Encoded File or VBScript Script File entries
5. For each entry do the following things:
   
   
   
   • Highlight the entry
   • Click on Edit.
   • In the Edit File Type window, the Actions box will list four actions. The one that is in boldface is the default action.
   • Click on Edit to highlight it, then click on Set Default button. "Edit" will now be in boldface.
   
   
   
6. Now finally Close Internet Explorer.
