SMTP: .WSC
This signature detects e-mail attachments with the extension .wsc sent through SMTP. This can indicate an incoming e-mail virus. .WSCs (Windows Script Component) contain scripts. Attackers can create malicious scripts, 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 .wsc file.
