script virus

Script viruses are viruses programmed in a scripting language, for example JavaScript, Visual Basic Script(VBScript), Ruby, Python or another scripting language.

The language scope of these programming languages is relatively small and is also optimized for the World Wide Web(WWW). Accordingly, the programming effort is also manageable and can be mastered even by script kiddies.

Script viruses insert themselves into scripts and spread when operating system functions are called, by exchanging files and by sending e-mails. The spread of script viruses is prevented by web browsers and virus scanners.
