SMTP: .VBS
This signature detects e-mail attachments with the extension ".vbs" sent through SMTP. This can indicate an incoming e-mail virus. VBSs (Visual Basic files) contain one or more executable scripts. Attackers can create malicious VB files, tricking the user into executing the file and infecting the system.
Extended Description
The impact on the target system is dependent on the instructions contained in the malicious .vbs file.
