You can also use File Filtering with WebShield SMTP for Windows Xp to prevent from virus. Check the Configuration console and select content filtering then select Add description for the content filter rule such as VBSBlock and Select Filter on Attachment File name.

Sometimes windows XP utilize a restore effectiveness that backs up selected files automatically to the C:\_Restore folder. This way that an infected file might be stored there as a backup file, and VirusScan will be not capable to delete these files. You must be disabling the System Restore Utility to remove the dirty files from the C:\_Restore folder. Check the process and reply.

You need to install a patch called "scriptlet.typelib/Eyedog" susceptibility from Microsoft official site. Microsoft has released patches that do away with security vulnerabilities in two ActiveX controls. The web effect of the vulnerabilities is that a web page could take illegal action against a person who visited it. Exclusively, the web page would be talented to do anything on the computer that the user could do. scriptlet.typelib is a control used by developers to make Type Libraries for Windows Script Components. It is noticeable as "safe for scripting". The patch eliminates the "safe for scripting" marking, thereby reason IE to request verification from the user before loading the control. Best of luck.
