How to Disable a Script Blocker

Scripting protects a computer from viruses and worms.

A script is a program that runs in the background of Web pages and programs and performs a variety of functions. Many viruses are written in script also, and many spread by email through email attachments. If script blocking is enabled, it can prevent a virus attack on your computer. If you want to disable script blocking, you can do so in a few simple steps.
